Hacker Tell All?

Convicted hacker (black hat) Moore gave a decent interview with InformationWeek today: http://www.informationweek.com/news/...leID=202101781
Nothing terribly exciting in what he did, really....just scanned networks for routers (and software-based routers) that had been configured with the default passwords left in place. Default password lists are quite easy to come by....a few of them:
http://www.cirt.net/cgi-bin/passwd.pl
http://www.phenoelit-us.org/dpl/dpl.html
http://www.governmentsecurity.org/ar...kedDevices.php
The interesting part of the InformationWeek article (IMO) is the look inside the creation of a business from this relatively simple series of hacks.
