Default-Creds
Default Creds is a centralized, community-driven repository of factory-set credentials. 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.

🎯 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.
⚙️ How it Works
This application is built with Astro and Svelte 5 for maximum performance. It operates as a “Flat-File Database”:
- YAML Powered: All credentials are stored as structured
.yamlfiles in thesrc/data/directory. - Real-time Search: The API parses these files on-the-fly (or via build cache) to provide instant results based on service names, versions, or tags.
- Developer Friendly: A public API is available to integrate these credentials into your own automated scanning tools.
🤝 Community Driven & Contributing
Security is a collective effort. This project only grows as the community discovers and adds new default configurations.
- Want to add an app? Just create a new YAML file in
src/data/. - Found a mistake? Submit a Pull Request to update existing entries.
Before contributing, please read our CONTRIBUTING.md for guidelines on how to format your YAML files.
