So I am mucking around with my Siglent waveform gen unit and want to try a software hack that has the ability to increase it from a maximum of 30mhz to 60mhz

You can Telnet into the unit and you are presented with this prompt.

(none) login:

I will be honest when I say I have no idea the (none) part in front of the login means. Could it be there is no username and just a password ??.

I know it will probably have to be brute forced which I am happy to play around with just not sure what username to use.

Anybody have any idea.

The system/server is called none?
From my Unix days I remember you could customise the login to say the server/box name in front of the login prompt. Looks like they have called it "none" or haven't named it at all.

You could set the prompt contents from the /etc/issue file.

I did think that there is just no server name. I guess trying to brute force with username root might be worth a try but don't like my chances.
