Hi, hoping someone here from Comcast can help me. I need to be able to login Comcast Looking Glass router in NY to check on some route advertising but the username and password that was previously working for the LG no longer seems to work.

Host: route-server.newyork.ny.ibone.comcast.net

Username: rviewsxr

Password: rviews and I also tried rviewsxr

If anyone knows the current login info I would appreciate it.

Hah! I ran into that same issue earlier in the week — a few places (including some notes that I had) implied that it was a username of "rviewsxr" with a blank password - but also that many SSH clients, including OpenSSH, deal poorly with blank passwords.

I had assumed that that was what I was running into, and so spent some time trying to figure out if it was a blank password issue, before I became distracted by a squirrel

possibly you need some other flags to the ssh client:
-oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 (server here only offers that key exchange algorithm)
-oMACS=+hmac-sha1

The server here appears to be a very old cisco type thingy :(

(I didn't figure the passwd part out, docs appear to say the passwd should be: rviews - perhaps some security person made them add more entropy? :) )
