I teach a real-time systems class where students use Beaglebone over the network. Generally, we are behind a protected firewall, but sometimes the students want to debug on other parts of the campus.
By default, one can access the root account without a password. If my students put such a BeagleBone on a network where the IP is externally visible, is it likely that the BeagleBone will become infected by the open-source botnet software Mirai? I guess it's a moot point -- the root password should be changed before attaching the BeagleBone to a public network anyway!
