Got a new eval board. It came in with a stock firmware, had its own IP and naturally its own webGUI. I wanted to check what was under the hood. So I SSH'd in to the device, and was prompted to enter the username. There weren't any specs or documentation.

*Hmm, let's try root*
User: root
Password: *Eh? Well, what the heck* admin
.

root@evalboard#

Muhahaha!!! Meet your hacker, eval board!

    @flag0 I take pleasure in doing that, right before I decide to flash the firmware! It's like a controlled demolition before a new building is erected! LOL

    @nik123 aah! Muscle memory from Debian systems.

    Not all distros support --no-preserve-root and you can disable it.
