| medusa | fast, parallel, modular, login brute-forcer for network services | Mehr ... | 
 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. |
