Developer mode effects on system?

What happens when I enable developer mode?

  • I get terminal application to application list
  • I get sshd running in with default nemo user/pass(?)
  • New USB mode for SSH connection (?)
  • What else?

I'm asking because I want to use terminal, but first I want to know what processes that starts and what attack vectors that opens.

I tried searching but couldn't find much.

  • I get Framerate display overlay
  • I get terminal application to application list
  • I get sshd running in with default nemo user/pass(?) running. Nemo user doesn't have password, but I can generate random password or input one.
    • sshd runs until developer mode is disabled AND device is rebooted
  • New USB mode for SSH connection (?)I get option to disable "remote connection", which means password authentication is disabled but key-based authentication still works.
  • Nemo user/pass is also used for devel-su
    • devel-su doesn't work after disabling "remote connection".
  • USB networking can be enabled/disabled from settings

  • What else?
