Cerbrutus - Network Brute Force Tool, Written In Python

| Post sponsored by FaradaySEC | Multiuser Pentest Environment


Modular brute force tool written in Python, for very fast password spraying SSH, and FTP and in the near future other network services.

COMING SOON: SMB, HTTP(s) POST, HTTP(s) GET, HTTP BASIC AUTH Thanks to @0dayctf, Rondons, Enigma, and 001 for testing and contributing


Installation:
cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/Cerbrutus-BruteForcer/cerbrutus

Usage:
python3 /opt/cerbrutus/cerbrutus.py --help
usage: cerbrutus.py [-h] -U USERS -P PASSWORDS [-p PORT] [-t THREADS] [-q [QUIET [QUIET ...]]] Host Service

Python based network brute forcing tool!

positional arguments:
  Host                  The host to connect to - in IP or VHOST/Domain Name form
  Service               The service to brute force (currently implemented 'SSH')

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -U USERS, --users USERS
                        Either a single user, or the path to the file of users you wish to use
  -P PASSWORDS, --passwords PASSWORDS
                        Either a single password, or the path to the password list you wish to use
  -p PORT, --port PORT  The port you wish to target (only required if running on a non standard port)      
  -t THREADS, --threads THREADS
                        Number of threads to use
  -q [QUIET    [QUIET ...]], --quiet [QUIET [QUIET ...]]
                        Do not print banner
/opt/cerbrutus/cerbrutus.py 10.10.10.10 SSH -U "username" -P /opt/wordlists/fasttrack.txt -t 10

Uses a custom implementation of paramiko to overcome a few minor issues with implementing it for ssh brute forcing. - https://github.com/paramiko/paramiko/
