RE: Default Admin Account

On the default admin accounts on US Military machines, I think that poor (or
even negligent) security is no excuse for a compromising a system. To borrow
from the port scanning debates, leaving my front door wide open doesn't give
someone permission to invade my home.

Hey all,

I have been following the Gary McKinnon case for years now.
My interest is in the legal area of penetration testing and the
evolution of cyber law.
What do IT Security experts and pen-testers think about the default
administration account on the US Military machines? You can read about
the case here http://freegary.org.uk/
