Having a root password of "toor" is very clever. Nobody will figure that one out.
toor was a default password for many devices for decades.
I've used unix-like OS's for 28 years and I don't remember coming across it as a password.
It is a common username (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toor_(Unix) ), the machine I am typing this on has it.
It was the default password for the root user in Kali Linux for a while.
Back when it was called Backtrack if my memory serves right. I remember being puzzled that it was not the case anymore one day and they even switched to regular user around when Kali became a thing
Slackware used it in the late 90s IIRC.
Did you check out the statistics on the site? They listed 1233456, 12345, 1234,123 and 1 on the toplist of password.
If we are going to be clever we should follow the statistics and go for 12 that where not on the toplist!!
Or even better, 21. Reverse it to add another layer of obfuscation.
You are right.
12 - Rank 318
21 - Rank 523
I'm surprised that '12' is so low on the list.
