Standard Cisco passwords
Hi colleagues, do you know what the Cisco standard passwords are ? As far as I remember, they are 'cisco' and 'sanfran', but I am not sure (also not sure about lower/upper case).

RE: Standard Cisco passwords

RE: Standard Cisco passwords
"cisco" and "sanfran" are only standard passwords in cisco classrooms. In real life - there are no such thing as standard passwords.

RE: Standard Cisco passwords
Well. Almost the first thing on any hacker / cracker / spook / whomever list are things like spouse or significant other name, children's names, birthdays, names of popular TV or movie stars, things like "God" and "topdog" "master" and stuff like that. If you have a picture of your beautiful new car displayed prominently in your workspace, the make or model are always part of the guessing game. Once in a while there are published lists of the top 100 passwords. Strong recommendation is not to use any of them, as the hackers will generally try these first. If anyone remembers the movie War Games, there is an interesting little sidelight about guessing passwords. Another film, I believe it was Clear and Present Danger, maybe? had an interesting scene with one of the spooks hacking someone's workstation. Last couple of Cisco training classes I have attended did use passwords cisco and san-fran ( with the dash ) as user and enable passwords respectively.

Re: Standard Cisco passwords
I have seen way too many users and systems that still have the default password from the install still in use years later. Aren't all NT Administrator passwords either or "password"? By the way, when troubleshooting a PIX to VPN Client connectivity problem, the first thing TAC wanted changed was the pre-shared key to "cisco1234". More than half of the pre-shared keys that I have seen since then are all "cisco1234". Using these passwords and/or keys makes your system as secure as you are at home when you lock the screen door!

>From the default password database, maintained by Eric Knight. see -http://www.securityparadigm.com/defaultpw.htm Cisco,IOS,,Multi,enable,cisco,,"IOS technically has no ""default pw'" Cisco,IOS,2600 series,Multi,n/a,c,,but these are common misconfigurations Cisco,IOS,,Multi,n/a,cc,, Cisco,IOS,,Multi,n/a,cisco,, Cisco,IOS,,Multi,n/a,Cisco router,, Cisco,CiscoWorks 2000,,,guest,(none),User, Cisco,CiscoWorks 2000,,,admin,cisco,Admin, Looking at the full list will give you an appreciation of cisco's design, as the database is filled with default passwords for other vendors.

I still cherish the memory, from high school, of a visit to an elderly submarine, USS Corporal (SS 346). While in port, they rigged screen doors on the hatches, both to keep out the bugs and to freak out the civilians. > >Vern Stitt >ASE, CCA, CCNA, MCSE > > > >do you know what the Cisco standard passwords are ?

These were the standard classroom passwords for the mainstream courses, but they aren't consistent in every course. WAN switching used something fairly real-world, Cisco University used cisco and cisco where possible, etc. ___ UPDATED Posting Guidelines: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/guide.html FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
