Re: BruteForcing?

Hello,

This does not only apply for Cisco routers, but I think this would be quite
easy to code such a tool using Perl or another scripting language. It would
read a dictionary file and send lines to std input, then reconnect after
three attempts. An idea would be to perform a multi-threaded bruteforce
attack, have you tried this with Hydra ?

Once again, to bruteforce web forms, you could script and use curl.

Regards,

Jeremy
