- Subj : Re: Top 10 passwords
- ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
-
- The top Ten - in general are:
- password
- root
- who
- guest
- admin
- test
- systest
- manager
- operator
- system
-
- A recent survey of 157 users found that 10 used a form of the account name
- 3 were the same as the account name
- 10 related to the account name
- 19 users first name
- 17 other first names
- 7 related to users job
- 1 name of the company
- 1 random character password
- 32 forms of a calender date
- 7 UNCHANGED from the defaults
-
- Then each system has its most common defaults..
-
- As in a VMS: vax, vms, dcl, demo, test, help, news, guest, decnet,
- systest, uetp, default, user, field, service, system, manager, operator...
-
- Now when the engineer from this design team joins SUN, what is the
- likelyhood that he will put "his" favorite "backdoor" in their new OS.
