OpenWRT, the crown jewel of open source firmwares for "insecure" consumer routers, uses a blank (null) password by default with full root access.


No device comes off the shelf with OpenWRT. If you're the type of person that's aware of OpenWRT and then install it, it's not that far of a stretch to think you'd also be the type to know to check the password.


GL-inet devices come off the shelf with OpenWRT. They don't have a blank password. Every single one ships with 'goodlife' as the default password, as printed on the label on the back.

(But remote ssh login is disabled by default.)


Thanks. I was unaware of that company.

Your assumption is large.

I am only thinking of a router with OpenWRT installed. Nothing about a wifi router with OpenWRT has anything to do with a door access device installed by a trained technician or not. The conversation only pertains to the words used, not the unwritten ones you're trying to insert in between the lines of my comment to make a totally unrelated point
