Do most installations create a git user account with login permissions?
Having a root password of "toor" is very clever. Nobody will figure that one out.
Did you check out the statistics on the site? They listed 1233456, 12345, 1234,123 and 1 on the toplist of password.
If we are going to be clever we should follow the statistics and go for 12 that where not on the toplist!!
Or even better, 21. Reverse it to add another layer of obfuscation.
toor was a default password for many devices for decades.
I've used unix-like OS's for 28 years and I don't remember coming across it as a password.
It is a common username (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toor_(Unix) ), the machine I am typing this on has it.
No "credentials" are being "harvested" here. It's all worthless data, save for the statistics.
