  http://busybox.net/ http://busybox.net/ Used in some consumer embedded gear running linux. or maybe not?

    It's used in OpenWrt and probably most (if not all) of the FOSS router firmwares out there.

  I'm just guessing, but I think it's probably an installation of http://www.busybox.net/ http://www.busybox.net/, which includes a standalone sshd. This would make it very easy to allow remote access once you're in a system.
