Do most installations create a git user account with login permissions?

No "credentials" are being "harvested" here. It's all worthless data, save for the statistics.

Having a root password of "toor" is very clever. Nobody will figure that one out.

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!!

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.
