Can't remember which brand it was, I think it was ASUS, that all the routers my company when I was working as an installer for an ISP used as the default for the customers had default admin passwords like "FuzzyWombler." Just combination of (cutesy word)(nonsense word.)
A company I worked with used that method as serial number denotion for industrial units
Nothing like replacing the material extruder on GloriousGriffith and the mainboard on HappyTrombone
Thanks PugJesus. And for those of us who haven't done Latin this millennium, can you provide a translation?
Oh hang on, I get it, it's a long string of letters. Gotcha.
Hah, yeah, I'm afraid my Latin isn't proficient enough to provide a translation even if the meaning was the joke. XD
"For the health of our lords, Lucius Septimius Severus Pertinax and Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus Caesars. Quintus Anicius Faustus, by decree of the governors, provided this."
Something along these lines. Not 100% sure on Anicius though
Funny how we still write little plates like that
What plates do you mean?
Commemorative plates
Probably better than them changing it to "password" or "abc123"
I think it's kinda funny that 20 years ago people just didn't have passwords for their wifi. Not everyone, but every time i moved i just used random wifi for a few month because i was too lazy to deal with my ISP
My Latin is shit but I can kinda make out that it's sone inscription along the Antonina road commemorating Caesar Septimius Severus for something or other
It's because I don't want to be judged by my choice of password or network name.
What if I judge people who have the default network name?
You have great passphrase generators that will take care of the password for you.
