Solution
When the connection is estabilished..
~ Hello, young hacker. Are you ready to fight rogue machines ? ~ What is the birth year of Rafail Ostrovsky ?
..and the connection drop off after 2 secs. So, we need a prog solution.
Clearly it is a cryptographer list, maybe extracted from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cryptographers. Wrote a socket script to isolate the name and fetch the birth data with this Wikipedia profile infobox parser..
..generated this array:
fullnames = {'Serge Vaudenay': 1968, 'Ron Rivest': 1947, 'Yvo Desmedt': 1956, 'Joan Daemen': 1965, 'Antoine Joux': 1967, 'Amos Fiat': 1956, 'Daniel Bleichenbacher': 1964, 'Jacques Stern': 1949, 'Paul van Oorschot': 1962, 'Bart Preneel': 1963, 'Taher Elgamal': 1955, 'Shafi Goldwasser': 1958, 'Alex Biryukov': 1969, 'Rafail Ostrovsky': 1963, 'Mitsuru Matsui': 1961, 'Donald Davies': 1924, 'Daniel J.

- Some cryptographer from this list is not a celebrety and the profile infobox is incomplete, at this cases you need to extract the birth year by hand.
Now simply loop into a socket..
