| PackageDescription | Medusa is intended to be a speedy, massively parallel, modular, login
brute-forcer. The goal is to support as many services which allow remote
authentication as possible. The author considers following items as some of the
key features of this application:
* Thread-based parallel testing. Brute-force testing can be performed against
multiple hosts, users or passwords concurrently.
* Flexible user input. Target information (host/user/password) can be specified
in a variety of ways. For example, each item can be either a single entry or
a file containing multiple entries. Additionally, a combination file format
allows the user to refine their target listing.
* Modular design. Each service module exists as an independent .mod file. This
means that no modifications are necessary to the core application in order to
extend the supported list of services for brute-forcing. |
