Dark Side!? :-)
It didn't take more than 5 minutes of looking in the original source code to
find both the user and the password. :-)
If anyone thought this would not get out he/she would have to believe in
Santa Claus too. Before Cert published this info there were already problaby
several copies of the ibserver binaries being disassembled by people that
did not have the source code handy.

After working on security-related projects with professional hackers I can
garantee that this sort of thing never remains private long.

Best regards,
