I want to try and brute force my own ftp server just to see how good my password is and if an average application can crack it. Do you have any software for windows / Linux that you would recomend to do this??
Many Thanks

if you want to test how good your passowrd is, then just make it over 6 characters long with random letters and numbers.
i think thats just a tad easier than brute forcing it...
if you really want a brute forcer coz your a pathetic SK.. then... www.fuckinggoogleit.com

Generally the longer the password the better. Also, don't use words, names, or any numbers that relate to you. Use upper and lower case letters, number, and symbols. Make sure that you have the numbers and symbols in the middle of the password not just at the beginning or the end. A good minimum these days is 8 characters.

if you want a really good password you can use this scblockedript:
NOTE: i did *NOT* write this! i got it from http://www.insecure.org/stc/sti.html. i take absolutley *NO* credit for this in anyway. all props go to the original author:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
# All printable ascii characters
my @chars = (32..126);
my $num_chars = @chars;
# Passwords must be 50 chars long, unless specified otherwise
my $length=$ARGV[0] || 50;
while (1) {
my $password;
foreach (1..$length) {
$password .= chr($chars[int(rand($num_chars))]);
}
# Password must have lower, upper, numeric, and 'other'
if ( $password =~ /[a-z]/
and $password =~ /[A-Z]/
and $password =~ /[0-9]/
and $password =~ /[^a-zA-Z0-9]/ ) {
print $password, "\n";
exit;
}
}
some output from the scblockedript:
[n3w7yp3@localhost crypto]$ ./rand-pass.pl 15
OGNEP,8}_\5i[(I
[n3w7yp3@localhost crypto]$
heh, no way is hydra gonna break something like that ;)

"heh, no way is hydra gonna break something like that" -- nor are you gonna be able to remember something like that very easily.

I would say if you really wanted a brute force then google crack whore. Its been around a lil bit longer and has been pretty decent. I hope you know depending on your password and how good of a computer you have, this may take 2-8 hours maybe depending on the variables.
