Wordlist For Brute Force Download

[Annemie]

Iam considering attempting to perform an SSH brute force attack on my own device in order to test its security, but I have run into an issue with the wordlist. I know my own password format, as well as that of a few other devices, so I have used Crunch to create a wordlist that fits the parameters of the passwords.

The resulting file is almost 15GB. How can I efficiently test all of these passwords? The RAM on my device cannot even hold this file all at once, but I know that the password to every single device I test against will be somewhere in the list.

Instead of reinventing the wheel, there are pre-existing solutions for brute-forcing hashes as quickly as possible. There are also pre-existing lists/generators so you can use what a real attacker might use to get a bit more of a real-world test.

It looks like you're trying to brute-force your own passwords using a generator tailored to your own password format. The usefulness of this is dubious. Are you just trying to get a sense of how brute-forceable your passwords are? The use of your custom generator would render the results fairly meaningless. Even if you switched to pre-existing brute-forcing tools with pre-existing wordlists/generators the results will be of limited use (unless you succeed of course!): you don't just want passwords that can't be brute-forced easily, you want it so that it has additional entropy spare even after that point so it's practically not achievable. You can get a general sense of how much entropy exists in your password by inspecting it and having a good understanding of how much you need.

For the hashes that can't be cracked with the provided wordlists, I'd like to run a bruteforce attack for passwords between 8 and 12 characters, containing special characters, numbers lower + upper case letters. I don't really understand the mask attack though.

Hey guys,

How can I login with Kira, I am using the password indicated in the hint throught ssh, ftp and smb but nothing works. In smb the access to SHARE in denied.

I also have tried to brute force ssh using kira and the wordlist that can be found in resources but it does not work

Should I use mutations with the password indicated in the hint?

Thank you in advance

MySQL is the name of the service. Took me 3 weeks of learning hashcat, docker, and mysql, then this forum. Everything you need to solve this one ( Password Reuse / Default Passwords) is on the same page (Password Reuse / Default Passwords).

The main difference between a brute force attack and a dictionary attack is that in a brute force attack, a hacker tries to crack a password using every possible combination of characters, whereas, in a dictionary attack, the hacker tries a list of known or commonly used passwords. While a brute-force attack tries every character combination to break a password, a dictionary attack only attempts passwords previously leaked or commonly used by others.

In a brute force attack, the hacker will use sophisticated software to systematically try thousands or even millions of combinations of characters until the correct password is discovered. If a hacker is successful in performing a brute force attack, they can gain access to a system and any data it contains.

A Dictionary Attack is a type of cyberattack wherein a malicious actor uses a list of words and phrases to gain access to a system. A Dictionary Attack uses a targeted sequence of words or phrases to try to gain access to a secure system. It is used to gain unauthorized access to a user account or to decrypt sensitive data. The attack works by exploiting the fact that many people use common words or phrases as passwords or use variations of the same password. Dictionary Attacks are typically used in combination with other types of attacks, such as brute force or rainbow table attacks, to make them more successful.

In a dictionary attack, the hacker will use a dictionary file to systematically try thousands or even millions of commonly used passwords listed in that file until the correct password is discovered. If a hacker is successful in performing a dictionary attack, they can gain access to a system and any data it contains.

A brute force attack tries all combinations of characters until one combination works, while a dictionary attack narrows down the combinations to a list of common or known passwords. This list can contain both popular passwords that many people use and leaked passwords. The list is ordered based on the popularity of the password. Hence, the most common passwords are always checked first. As a result, a dictionary attack is less time-consuming than a brute-force attack. On the other hand, a dictionary attack is also less effective against unique, unleaked passwords.

It is important to note that when we say brute force attack, we mean a simple brute force attack that tries all combinations until one combination works. Advanced brute force attacks do not necessarily have to try all combinations. Say an application has some password rules. For example, you need at least one uppercase character, number, etc. Advanced brute force attacks can take these requirements into account to slightly improve the brute-forcing of passwords. Nevertheless, they still try every combination. They just add some exclusion rules.

On the other hand, a dictionary attack is a type of brute force attack that narrows down the combinations to a list of common or known passwords. This list can contain both popular passwords that many people use and leaked passwords. The list is ordered based on the popularity of the password. Hence, the most common passwords are always checked first. As a result, a dictionary attack is less time-consuming than a brute-force attack. On the other hand, a dictionary attack is also less effective against unique, unleaked passwords.

Key Takeaway: A brute force attack tries all possible character combinations to crack a password. In contrast, a dictionary attack tries only the passwords previously leaked or commonly used by others.

Use a long unique password to increase the security of your account. Still, a scenario in which hackers leak passwords, including your password, is possible. In this case, the safety of your account is jeopardized regardless of the length and complexity of your password. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is a solution to that. MFA adds an additional authentication step and requires completing all authentication steps before granting access. A person who knows the password but fails to accomplish the second step cannot access the account. As a result, enabling MFA on all user accounts considerably decreases the likelihood of a successful cyberattack. This is a massive advantage because MFA can prevent 99.9% of attacks on your accounts.

Key Takeaway: Secure your account with a long and unique password and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to mitigate brute force and dictionary attacks. MFA requires completing all authentication steps before granting access and can decrease the likelihood of a successful cyberattack by 99.9%. Enable MFA on all accounts for maximum security.

Both brute-force attacks and dictionary attacks aim to break passwords. Hackers compromise passwords with the hope of gaining unauthorized access to user accounts. You can get the better of hackers by adding an additional layer of security to your account. Multi-Factor Authentication does just that and much more.

A Pentester is as good as their tools and when it comes to cracking the password, stressing authentication panels or even a simple directory Bruteforce it all drills down to the wordlists that you use. Today we are going to understand wordlists, look around for some good wordlists, run some tools to manage the wordlists, and much more.

Ever since the evolution of Penetration Testers has begun, one of the things we constantly see is that the attacker cracks the password of the target and gets in! Well in most of the depictions of the attacks in movies and series often show this situation in detail as it is the simplest attack to depict. No matter how simple cracking passwords or performing Credential Stuffing were once a bane on the Web Applications. Today we somehow have got a bit of control over them with the use of CAPTCHA or Rate Limiting but still, they are one of the effective attacks. The soul of such attacks is the wordlist.

Wordlists are located inside the /usr/share directory. Here, we have the dirb directory for the wordlists to be used while using the dirb tool to perform Directory Bruteforce. Then we have the dirbuster that is a similar tool that also performs Directory Bruteforce but with some additional options. Then we have a fern-wifi directory which helps to break the Wi-Fi Authentications. Then we have the Metasploit which uses wordlists for almost everything. Then there is a nmap wordlist that contains that can be used while scanning some specific services. Then we have the Rockstar of Wordlists: rockyou. This is compressed by default and you will have to extract it before using it. It is very large with 1,44,42,062 values that could be passwords for a lot of user accounts on the internet. At last, we have the wfuzz directory that has the wordlists that can be used clubbed with wfuzz.

To take a closer look at one of the directories, we use the tree command to list all the wordlists inside the dirb directory. Here we have different wordlists that differ in size and languages. There is an extensions wordlist too so that the attacker can use that directory to perform a Directory Bruteforce. There are some application-specific wordlists such as apache.txt or sharepoint.txt as well.

Wfuzz tool was developed to perform Bruteforcing attacks on web applications. It can further be used to enumerate web applications as well. It can enumerate directories, files, and scripts, etc. It can change the request from GET to POST as well. That is helpful in a bunch of scenarios such as checking for SQL Injections. It comes with a set of predefined wordlists. These wordlists are designed to be used with wfuzz but they can be used anywhere you desire. The wordlists are divided into categories such as general, Injections, stress, vulns, web services, and others.
