SSH2 Brute Force Hacker
 

Hey Webmasters,

There's a new SSH2 brute force hacker out there that's just been released. One of my tech guys snagged a copy off someone.

void usage()
{
printf("\nguess-who SSH2 parallel passwd bruter (C) 2002 by "
"[email protected]\n\n"
"Usage: ./a.out <-l login> <-h host> [-p port] <-1|-2> "
"[-N nthreads] [-n ntries]\n"
"Use -1 for producer/consumer thread model, -2 for dumb "
"parallelism. Passwds go on stdin. :)\n\n");
exit(1);
}

I have the source code if anyone wants it - just check with your hosting company that you have the latest SSH2 installed and make sure you have decent passwords!!


Robert.

Something new every day!

Actually, there are many other smart utilites designed to get someone's server hacked.
So it never hurts to apply latest security patches.

it's all about the length of ur password. make it 10 chars long and the hacker will move on to the other site at 5 chars :D
