There is a business I walk past every day and when you look in the window you can see wifi login creds and her name and password. Ive considered saying something but then I’d have to explain why they shouldn’t do it and argue with them that its important.
Plus they’re property managers so i would laugh if they got hacked.
There was a common issue with a local ISP that their default wifi router passwords were based on the router’s MAC address.
I scanned the wifis I could reach from my flat and found one that was vulnerable. Now I didn’t know who that wifi belonged to. I would have had to knock on everyone’s door, asking everyone if it’s their wifi. Couldn’t be bothered doing that and looking stupid doing so.
So instead I logged into their wifi and from there into their router config web page (it also had the default credentials admin/admin) and changed the SSID to [old SSID]_hacked.
The day after they had changed the SSID back and changed the password.
Nice, that’s actually a pretty clean whitehat way to do it.
Fr, I would have torrent some movies
Hack them and assign all the properties to your name.
Realistically if the company fails due to their terrible cyber security practices there’s a high chance their properties will just be sold to an even larger property management firm
also the sign language translator standing in front of a non-greenscreened greenscreen is a bit funny
Not to mention that door is held together by two hamsters and a paper clip.
I just checked, the credentials are still good.
You are truly a good person.
phew, that was close!
… wait
or just don’t use the same login information for everyone for a platform that way it doesn’t need to be publicly posted.
They probably wanted to save on licensing costs.
it’s always licensing costs.
don’t know how this is legal yet pirating software is illegal.
it’s not technically legal afaik… the license defines a user pretty rigorously
Command and conquer was da best. I mean I’ve started playing https://beyondallreason.info/ which Is a free open source RTS.
But damn the cutscenes were so cool.
Maybe if licensing costs weren’t ridiculous I wouldn’t mind.
$15/m/user is ridiculous. Charge me like $100 a year for the license and then like $1/m/user on top. It literally doesn’t matter much how many users there are for many programs, no extra resources for the company. And if it does use resources it’s usually not $15/m worth.
Then Jami and signal are free
Darmok and Chipotle at the mall.
It’s the 21c, passwords shouldn’t exist.
What’s the alternative? It would have to be something that wouldn’t work if the user was unconscious and that offered plausible deniability if they were awake and being coerced.
What, other than a password, offers that?
Relatedly, I don’t even know most of my passwords these days. I use a password manager (one that doesn’t require internet access) that generated random strings. I only ever see them if I accidentally paste them into the wrong field.
The real problem is there’s not really a better solution that works well for private accounts owned by individuals who only have a single device.
They say that authentication is using either something you know, something you have or something you are, but in the real world it ends up being something you’ve forgotten, something you’ve lost and something that you were at one time but are no longer
Who’s using National TV for this? I said Signal only!
You didn’t say which signal.
The secret one.
