Note: BetterDefaultPasslist is included in SecLists (https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists) and in future I will try to keep them both up-to-date (08.07.2018).

What:

• list includes default credentials from various manufacturers for their products like NAS, ERP, ICS etc., that are used for standard products like mssql, vnc, oracle and so on
• also examples for passwords, in practice those are also being used
• the sources are installation guides and other
• useful for network bruteforcing
• not meant as a complete bruteforcing list, hopefully it is a useful supplement

Why:

• some manufactures use default credentials for their products
• that might be poorly handled by the users
• setting networks at risk

What to do:

• manufacturers: do not use default passwords, instead force users to use strong credentials and document them
• users: check if it is possible to change the credentials, otherwise mitigate the risk, for example by network separation or by using proper firewall rules - yes, you can actually use local firewalls too
