Not supprised and happens, almost as good as cut and paste admin flaws that happen. Still the humour of a program in C that looks for insecure routers and uses strcpy is not lost on me :).

True of many equipment using default user/pass combo's, perish the thought they forced a change upon bootup/configuration, but that should of been covered by CISCO admin 101 school. AS/400's, heck anything with default accounts can end up with those accounts left, the sight standard user admin acocunts installed and maintained to password standards with the out of the box ones still there.

Then we worry about home routers with default admin accounts - oh the humour of it all. Some managment will think CISCO - thats expensive so it is more secure and they can get cheap staff in. Well you see what happens then.
