I see UGFzc3dvcmQ6 a lot,  enough that after about err 20 years I recognise it it looked familiar

A quick err duckduck ( see post about google sucking) and it was clear UGFzc3dvcmQ6 was not random, but it wasn't obvious till a few click through what it actually is:

If you base 64 encode the word 'password' you get 'UGFzc3dvcmQ6'  try it here: https://www.base64decode.org 

So all these years if bull shit scrolling down my log files I have finally worked out why UGFzc3dvcmQ6

Long live UGFzc3dvcmQ6 cos trying dumb stuff for 20 years still occasionally works! 

FYI I run this server, if your reading this, and your AV is not going wild, assume my password is  not  'UGFzc3dvcmQ6'
