toad.com has been an open system by policy since its inception.  in 
keeping with the hippie culture of open houses.  the name toad.com comes 
from Toad Hall - the name of Toad's house in the 'wind in the willows'.

toad.com was used by Kevin Mitnick to break into Tsutotu Shimomura's 
home system.  Coincidentally, Shimomura was standing one foot away from 
the machine that was toad.com, completely oblivious of the break-in in 
progress.
