Crowbar - Brute Forcing Tool for Pentests
Crowbar (crowbar) is brute forcing tool that can be used during penetration tests. It is developed to brute force some protocols in a different manner according to other popular brute forcing tools. As an example, while most brute forcing tools use username and password for SSH brute force, Crowbar uses SSH key. So SSH keys, that are obtained during penetration tests, can be used to attack other SSH servers.
Currently Crowbar supports
- OpenVPN
- SSH private key authentication
- VNC key authentication
- Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) with NLA support
