unencrypted privileged mode password

inappropriate wording in the banner message

Explanation:
The banner logon message should not contain verbiage that includes the word Welcome. This could potentially
supply grounds by a hacker that he was “invited” to access the device.
Also, although a strong password has been configured on the VTY lines, the presence of the no login command
instructs the router to NOT prompt for a password.
The login command should be executed under the VTY configuration so that the router will prompt for the
password.
The privileged mode password is encrypted because it is listed as an enable secret password.
The password configured on the VTY lines, Cisc0$ell$, is strong in that it contains numbers, letters, and nonnumeric characters and it is at least 8 characters in length.
