Somewhere between 15-20 years ago I remember an early public grid of
plan 9 machines which amusingly featured hostnames of serial killers
such as Dahmer and Bundy or whatever. There was also a gallery of
failed attempts by script kiddies to use Linux and other Unix exploits
on a plan 9 machine or try to attack remote machines. Am I delusional
or did this grid actually exist?

I recall a public VMS cluster with the theme and hostnames you mention.

Ha! Now that explains why my searches were fruitless. For some reason I
confused it with a plan 9 grid. Case closed.
