- dahfizz 7y agoI would like to point out that this is not specific to IOT. I deal with lots of servers and enterprise networking gear at my job and many of them come with hardcoded passwords on ipmi / networked admin consoles. The difference is that your average Joe doesn't even know he has to configure these devices, let alone how to configure them.
