cookie monster
(From the children's TV program "Sesame Street")
Any of a family of early (1970s) hacks reported on {TOPS-10},
{ITS}, {Multics} and elsewhere that would lock up either the
victim's terminal (on a {time-sharing} machine) or the
{console} (on a batch {mainframe}), repeatedly demanding "I
WANT A COOKIE". The required responses ranged in complexity
from "COOKIE" through "HAVE A COOKIE" and upward.
See also {wabbit}.
