Well if hacking Windows cold across a tcp/ip service such as web this may be
helpful, but it doesn't require  much more than that to figure out what the
admin account is for a given machine.

Are you able to change root's name in nix? Why not if the answer is no?
(Things would break right? UID 0?) Knowing the account name is two-thirds of
the battle.
In windows it's fairly easy to change the admin name.
Not a professional here just curious...
