Crowbar

Network authentication cracking tool (ssh keys rather than passwords). Most reliable against Windows RDP protocol.

Installation

sudo apt install crowbar

Help

crowbar --help

RDP

You need to convert rockyou.txt to UTF-8 to fix error “File doesn’t exist”.

iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt > rockyou_utf8.txt

❗ Remote Desktop Protocol does not reliably handle multiple threads.

IP=x.x.x.x
WL=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou_utf8.txt
