For the longest time the admin password for the router at work was
PasswordReset.124, the useless penetration testers didn't even pick up on it.I've changed it to something actually random and then, following established industry standard security practises, somebody else has gone and written it on a post-it note, and stuck it to the router. So we're all fine now.
I'm extremely tempted to "hack" the network and bring it down only to be the hero that brings it back up after a few hours of non-productivity. But I feel like if they found out that might be a firing offence.
