NetForce

NetForce: A network scanning and SSH brute forcing tool.

Features

NetForce can both scan a network for open ports and brute force attack an SSH server.

It can scan a network when given a range of IP addresses along with a port to scan for. This will return all IP addresses in the given range with the given port open.

NetForce can also brute force attack an SSH server in attempt to obtain a username and/or password. This requires a host address/name, port, user or file contains usernames to try, and a password or file containing passwords to try. Common SSH usernames and passwords can be found in src/main/resources/.
