Brutespray: A Powerful Tool for Pentesting and Red Teaming

You Should Know:

Brutespray is a versatile tool written in Go, designed for brute-forcing credentials across various protocols. It is particularly useful in penetration testing and red teaming scenarios where default credentials are often left unchanged. Below are some practical steps, commands, and codes to help you get started with Brutespray.

Installation:

To install Brutespray, you need to clone the repository from GitHub and install the required dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/x90skysn3k/brutespray.git
cd brutespray
pip install -r requirements.txt

Basic Usage:

Brutespray can take input from Nmap scan results and automatically attempt to brute-force the services it finds.

1. Run an Nmap Scan:

First, perform an Nmap scan to identify open ports and services.

nmap -oX scan.xml -sV <target_ip>

2. Run Brutespray:

Use the Nmap output file as input for Brutespray.

python brutespray.py --file scan.xml

Advanced Usage:

Brutespray supports various options to customize its behavior.

• Specify Protocols:

You can specify which protocols to target.

python brutespray.py --file scan.xml --protocol ssh,ftp

• Use SOCKS Proxies:
  For stealth, you can route Brutespray’s traffic through a SOCKS proxy.

python brutespray.py --file scan.xml --socks5 127.0.0.1:1080

• Custom Wordlists:

Use custom wordlists for brute-forcing.

python brutespray.py --file scan.xml --wordlist /path/to/wordlist.txt

Example Commands:

Here are some example commands to help you get started:

• Brute-Force SSH:

  python brutespray.py --file scan.xml --protocol ssh
  

• Brute-Force FTP:

  python brutespray.py --file scan.xml --protocol ftp
  

• Brute-Force Multiple Protocols:

  python brutespray.py --file scan.xml --protocol ssh,ftp,http
  

What Undercode Say:

Brutespray is an essential tool for any penetration tester or red teamer. Its ability to automatically brute-force services from Nmap output makes it a powerful addition to your toolkit. Always ensure you have proper authorization before using Brutespray or any other penetration testing tool. For more information, visit the Brutespray GitHub repository.

Additional Linux Commands:

• Check Open Ports:

  netstat -tuln
  

• Scan for Open Ports:

  nmap -p- <target_ip>
  

• Check Service Versions:

  nmap -sV <target_ip>
  

• Brute-Force SSH with Hydra:

  hydra -l username -P /path/to/wordlist.txt ssh://<target_ip>
  

• Brute-Force FTP with Hydra:

  hydra -l username -P /path/to/wordlist.txt ftp://<target_ip>
  

Brutespray simplifies the process of brute-forcing credentials, making it an invaluable tool for security professionals. Always remember to use such tools responsibly and within the bounds of the law.
