An Internet Security protip

When you install a new device, you really want to change the default root password if you're going to make it Internet accessible.  Srlsy.

P.S. I think I posted this once before, so you can't say I didn't warn you. kthanxbai

    Some good rules for passwords.
    Don't use the mac address as part of the password.
    Don't use the router model number for part of the password.
    Grab the list of most common passwords and USE NOTHING ON IT.
    If you have to write the password down, put it under lock and key or encrypted file system.
