This is how Equifax was "hacked". They had a remote server with those credentials, which someone used to steal all our info. Equifax paid like $10 per person in fines and said "teehee our bad".

[-] teft@lemmy.world 31 points 6 months ago

If that one doesn't work try login: guest password: password.

Man "hacking" was so much easier when people knew nothing about device configurations.

[-] 0x4E4F@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 6 months ago

They still don't. Most devices are left at default settings around here.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 18 points 6 months ago

This is why many new routers you can buy actually ship with unique passwords as default, with the key printed on the bottom of the router.

that was done because when wifi encryption wasn't enabled by default, most people had no clue how to turn it on. so now it's the norm to enable encryption and supply the default credentials (which you should still change) to connect. this is why there's hardly any 'open' wifi to 'borrow' anymore.

Man I miss those days.

On the bright side, cellular data has become somewhat cheaper over the years.

Very true, but downloading movies over my neighbor's connection was my first VPN lol.

Wifite2 goes brrr

[-] ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

At least now the default settings on most routers include a unique WiFi password printed on the router, so either that password, physical access to the router, or a serious security vulnerability in software that never receives updates (gee, this list is getting long) is necessary to compromise the router.

[-] nossaquesapao@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 6 months ago

Indeed. The default configurations have improved, not people's knowledge, sadly...

qbittorrent only recently changed from admin:adminadmin to docker logs qbittorrent to get a temp PW

That's like leaving the key in the door.

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

It's worse than that, it's like not having the lock installed at all, so that anyone can come put their own lock on instead

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago

Its designed to be immediately changed. By default WiFi is turned off so you would need to connect physically.

[-] perviouslyiner@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

tfw someone takes a few tries to guess the password to your system because they think it can't be blank...

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago

I always put the previous key under the mat when I change the locks anywhere.

Login: root Password: toor

[-] sata_andagi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 6 months ago

I remember seeing this in at least one Linux distro (I think it was Bunsenlabs but I'm not sure, might be something like Kali but I never used that one) a few years ago, nowadays they just give the live account passwordless sudo and lock the root account unless you pick a password for it

[-] bruhduh@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

It was kali linux and few other Debian based distros for me

[-] jaschen@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

this is a new one for me!

[-] abbadon420@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

Kinda looks like an on/off switch

[-] Mun_Walker@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

A regular doormat?

Or is that a little thumbtack or a firecracker towards the bottom center (and not just a piece of debris)?

I get the default credentials part…

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 months ago

The key under the mat is visible because the mat has holes.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 months ago

DUH! Obviously a key now. Thanks.

[-] Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.de 2 points 6 months ago

Login: User1, Password: User1 (browserling.com).

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Jokes on them, that key is longer the real one so it make contact with zapping device in the lock.
