Ok, so I have this HP-server in my garage that I've had for years.
I decided to plug it in, add drives and connect the iLO port.
Ofcourse, I have forgotten the iLO password - and I dont have a monitor that I can use to reset it via the BIOS.
I do remember this vulnerability from a couple of years ago, that where I could get the password (or change it) for the Administrator user with a curl post request.
But I can't find it.

Modeling, Segmenting and Statistics of Transient Spindles via Two-Dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Dynamics
C. Sun, D. Fettahoglu, D. Holcman
https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.10844 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.10844 https://arxiv.org/html/2512.10844
arXiv:2512.10844v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We develop here a stochastic framework for modeling and segmenting transient spindle- like oscillatory bursts in electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. At the modeling level, individ- ual spindles are represented as path realizations of a two-dimensional Ornstein{Uhlenbeck (OU) process with a stable focus, providing a low-dimensional stochastic dynamical sys- tem whose trajectories reproduce key morphological features of spindles, including their characteristic rise{decay amplitude envelopes. On the signal processing side, we propose a segmentation procedure based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) combined with the detection of a central extremum, which isolates single spindle events and yields a collection of oscillatory atoms. This construction enables a systematic statistical analysis of spindle features: we derive empirical laws for the distributions of amplitudes, inter-spindle intervals, and rise/decay durations, and show that these exhibit exponential tails consistent with the underlying OU dynamics. We further extend the model to a pair of weakly coupled OU processes with distinct natural frequencies, generating a stochastic mixture of slow, fast, and mixed spindles in random temporal order. The resulting framework provides a data- driven framework for the analysis of transient oscillations in EEG and, more generally, in nonstationary time series.
