brut3k1t

version 1 release

Server-side brute-force module.

1. Introduction

brut3k1t is a server-side bruteforce module that supports dictionary attacks for several protocols. The current protocols that are complete and in support are:

ssh
ftp
smtp
XMPP
instagram
facebook

There will be future implementations of different protocols and services (including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram).

2. Installation

Installation is simple. brut3k1t requires several dependencies, although they will be installed by the program if you do not have it.

• argparse - utilized for parsing command line arguments
• paramiko - utilized for working with SSH connections and authentication
• ftplib - utilized for working with FTP connections and authentication
• smtplib - utilized for working with SMTP (email) connections and authentication
• fbchat - utilized for connecting with Facebook
• selenium - utilized for web scraping, which is used with Instagram (and later Twitter)
• xmppy - utiized for XMPP connections ...and more within the future!

Downloading is simple. Simply git clone.

git clone https://github.com/ex0dus-0x/brut3k1t

Change to directory:

cd /path/to/brut3k1t

3. Usage

Utilizing brut3k1t is a little more complicated than just running a Python file.

Typing python brut3k1t -h shows the help menu:

usage: brut3k1t.py [-h] [-s SERVICE] [-u USERNAME] [-w PASSWORD] [-a ADDRESS]
               [-p PORT] [-d DELAY]

Server-side bruteforce module written in Python

optional arguments:
-h, --help            show this help message and exit
-a ADDRESS, --address ADDRESS
                    Provide host address for specified service. Required
                    for certain protocols
-p PORT, --port PORT  Provide port for host address for specified service.
                    If not specified, will be automatically set
-d DELAY, --delay DELAY
                    Provide the number of seconds the program delays as
                    each password is tried

required arguments:
-s SERVICE, --service SERVICE
                    Provide a service being attacked. Several protocols
                    and services are supported
-u USERNAME, --username USERNAME
                    Provide a valid username for service/protocol being
                    executed
-w PASSWORD, --wordlist PASSWORD
                    Provide a wordlist or directory to a wordlist

Examples of usage:

Cracking SSH server running on 192.168.1.3 using root and wordlist.txt as a wordlist.

python brut3k1t.py -s ssh -a 192.168.1.3 -u root -w wordlist.txt

The program will automatically set the port to 22, but if it is different, specify with -p flag.

Cracking email [email protected] with wordlist.txt on port 25 with a 3 second delay. For email it is necessary to use the SMTP server's address. For e.g Gmail = smtp.gmail.com. You can research this using Google.

python brut3k1t.py -s smtp -a smtp.gmail.com -u [email protected] -w wordlist.txt -p 25 -d 3

Cracking XMPP [email protected] with wordlist.txt on default port 5222. XMPP also is similar to SMTP, whereas you will need to provide the address of the XMPP server, in this case creep.im.

python brut3k1t.py -s xmpp -a creep.im -u test -w wordlist.txt

Cracking Facebook is quite a challenge, since you will require the target user ID, not the username.

python brut3k1t.py -s facebook -u 1234567890 -w wordlist.txt

Cracking Instagram with username test with wordlist wordlist.txt and a 5 second delay

 python brut3k1t.py -s instagram -u test -w wordlist.txt -d 5

KEY NOTES TO REMEMBER

• If you do not supply the port -p flag, the default port for that service will be used. You do not need to provide it for Facebook and Instagram, since they are um... web-based. :)

• If you do not supply the delay -d flag, the default delay in seconds will be 1.

• Remember, use the SMTP server address and XMPP server address for the address -a flag, when cracking SMTP and XMPP, respectively.

• Facebook requires the username ID. This is a little bit of a setback since some people do not display their ID publicly on their profile.

• Make sure the wordlist and its directory is specified. If it is in /usr/local/wordlists/wordlist.txt specify that for the wordlist -w flag.

• Remember that some protocols are not based on their default port. A FTP server will not necessarily always be on port 21. Please keep that in mind.

• Use this for educational and ethical hacking purposes, as well as the sake of learning code and security-oriented practices. No script kiddies!

Much more features to come!
