Garrett: I bought some awful light bulbs so you don't have to

Garrett: I bought some awful light bulbs so you don't have to

Matthew Garrett digs into a Linux-running light bulb and is not impressed with what he finds. "The OS detection reported Linux, which wasn't hugely surprising - there was no GPL notice or source code included with the box, but I'm way past the point of shock at that. It also reported that there was a telnet daemon running. I connected and got a login prompt. And then I typed admin as the username and admin as the password and got a root prompt. So, there's that."
