When you think of a brute force, you always think of Hydra, Brutus, etc. There is a newer, somewhat unknown tool – Bruter. We had mentioned about this tool, at its time of release, our now defunct blog – Meta-Human.Net.
Bruter is a Windows 32 application which can help you check for the strength of your passwords. It supports three types of password cracking mode:
- Dictionary: This mode will use a wordlist.
- Append user: This mode will use words from a file. Each word will then be appended to the testing username and then use it as a password.
- Brute force: This mode will try every possible password. You can select a character set for brute forcing from ‘Option‘. Also you can defined the minimum and maximum password length for brute forcing.
It supports the following protocols to be tested:
- FTP
- HTTP (Basic)
- HTTP (Form)
- IMAP
- MSSQL
- MySQL
- POP3
- SMB-NT
- SMTP
- SNMP
- SSH2
- Telnet
It has been tested to work on Windows 2000 & Windows XP. All it needs is OpenSSL. You can download the source code of this application and the compiled version as well here.
