OriginalDefault Credentials Cheat Sheet
One place for all the default credentials to assist pentesters/blue Teamers during engagements, featuring default login/password details for various products sourced from multiple references.
P.S : Most of the credentials were extracted from changeme,routersploit and Seclists projects, you can use these tools to automate the process https://github.com/ztgrace/changeme , https://github.com/threat9/routersploit (kudos for the awesome work)
- Project in progress
Motivation
- One document for the most known vendors default credentials
- Assist pentesters during a pentest/red teaming engagement
- Helping the Blue teamers to secure the company infrastructure assets by discovering this security flaw in order to mitigate it. See OWASP Guide [WSTG-ATHN-02] - Testing_for_Default_Credentials
