Default-Creds
Default Creds is a centralized, community-driven database of factory-set credentials, stored as plain YAML files. Designed for pentesters and security researchers, it helps identify weak access points during engagement phases or audit internal infrastructure before they become a security liability.
Live Instance: default-creds.hadi.icu
API Documentation: default-creds.hadi.icu/api-docs
This repo contains only the data. It's a flat-file database: one YAML file per manufacturer in data/.
The website and API are built and hosted from a separate repo, anotherhadi/default-creds-web.
There is also a TUI to search for default credentials: default-creds-tui.
The Mission
In the world of cybersecurity, "low-hanging fruit" often comes in the form of unchanged default passwords. Our mission is to provide a fast, reliable, and searchable database of these credentials to help security professionals secure systems before attackers exploit them.
Community Driven & Contributing
Security is a collective effort. This project only grows as the community discovers and adds new default configurations.
