Sounds like the 90’s early ISP experience scaled up. No firewalls, everything on public IPs, text files with global credentials in clear text…

I have been transported back to the days of `conf t`, `enable password hunter2`, `show run`, `copy run start`

And the days of hubs, not switches, telnet and rlogin, not SSH. A hacked host could potentially compromise your whole LAN.

A lot of that is still there in various ways.
