compilation?

itz2000 · 11-10-2005, 06:30 AM

just a check. AAAA

you'd use gcc, and potentially port it to Linux if it wasn't explicitly developed for it. but i'm hardly going to explain how you compile something from a site like astalavista. LQ.org can in no way condone such activity.

Also the program seems a little optimistic to me : )
It just tries passwords from a wordlist file, it is not really a brute force attack

itz2000 · 11-10-2005, 06:42 AM

and again... this is history.

there is no reason to run this against yourself. you know fully well wether you already have a dictionary based password or not.

itz2000 · 11-10-2005, 09:47 AM

#include <stdio.h>
#include <dos.h>
#include <conio.h>

acid_kewpie · 11-10-2005, 09:52 AM

you can't. dos.h?? that's for DOS, not linux. you're really doing a school project without them even telling you how to compile your own code??

just a check.

bigearsbilly · 11-10-2005, 10:20 AM

conio.h won't work either

acid_kewpie · 11-10-2005, 10:59 AM

the same project that requires you to do a brute force ftp attact also requires direct parallel port writing?????

I'm skeptical of his intentions too, Acid, but to be fair you can't know whether you have a dictionary password except by running a program to check (unless you want to read through an enormous dictionary yourself).

he's probably got john in his distro anyway.

what happened to your parallel port stuff?

again, you do not need to run a brute force attack against yourself. there is no logic in doing this whatsoever. you already know your password. you already know if it is a good password or not. the point of a brute force attack is to prey on people who set dumb passwords. surely that's not you?
