My security camera shipped a GitHub admin token in its login page

i dissected some firmware for a Hanwha Wisenet XNP-9300RW and found that it had github admin tokens in it, also miltech is weird i have been thinking a bit more about security cameras again, because of AXIS starting to push more for every one of their cameras to be able to easily run linux applications on them , they're far more serious targets in an enterprise environment and need to be managed as such for vulnerabilities and credential management etc. someone brought up to me a company that sounded new to me, Hanwha (Vision.) I took a look at the site, and found that they had accessible firmware blobs for each model of camera, which is always a treat. i took the image and threw it at binwalk hoping it was just a rootfs or something, but inside there was a separate tarball with some AI stuff for the camera and a fwimage.tgz that binwalk was flagging as encrypted. I was googling around and saw that Matt Brown has a writeup on these cameras that got me through . basically the passphrase is HTW + the model number so HTWXNP-9300RW worked.
