Brute-forcing is an easy way of discovering weak login credentials and is often one of the first steps when a hacker finds network services running on a network they gain access to. For beginners and experienced hackers alike, it's useful to have access to the right tools to discover, classify, and then launch customized brute-force attacks against a target. BruteDum does it all from a single framework.
Weak Passwords Are Easy Prey
When a hacker gains access to a system with services running on it, one of the first things they'll typically do is see if they can log in to any of those services using default or common credentials. Internet of Things (IoT) hardware and devices like routers are often left with default passwords enabled, making them easy to attack.
To test the services they discover for weak passwords, the hacker needs to select the right tool for the job, and it can be confusing to know which tool is the best to use against a particular service.
BruteDum is a Python tool that allows a hacker to acquire a target first and run a scan inside the framework to determine the best tool based on what is discovered. It's easy to run a brute-force or dictionary attack against nearly any standard protocol that's vulnerable to it.
The advantage of running BruteDum over specific tools is the ability to run a scan from within to identify what other processes may be running on the same device, as well as organizing powerful tools for breaking into user accounts on services like SSH.
