"Admin / Admin." Two words you never want to find hardcoded in production firmware. 😱 SRT member Sukesh Shetty recently stumbled upon an open /tftpboot/ directory served wide open over HTTP. Most would scroll past it, but Sukesh dug deeper. By using binwalk to deconstruct proprietary .keg archives, he uncovered a roadmap to total hardware control—including private RSA keys and hardcoded IPMI credentials that provide out-of-band management of servers. "The vulnerability wasn't in the firmware itself—it was in the assumption that infrastructure files are somehow hidden by virtue of being technical." Check out the full technical write-up on how a simple directory listing can lead to the keys to the kingdom. https://lnkd.in/gRWNSC6h #BugBounty #RedTeaming #Pentesting #FirmwareHacking #SRT
