#SSH #Brute-Force #Weak-Credentials

Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol for operating network services securely over an unsecured network. The standard for SSH is the Secure Shell Protocol (SSH-2) RFC 4251. SSH is used to access shell accounts on remote servers. It provides strong authentication and secure communications over insecure channels. SSH uses public-key cryptography to authenticate the remote computer and allow it to authenticate the user.

Weak passwords are frequently based on simple patterns that attackers may quickly guess. A password wordlist is a collection of common passwords that are used by criminals to try and break into accounts. These wordlists can be very large, containing millions of passwords. When trying to brute force a password, an attacker will often iterate over these lists to discover valid credentials.

Nmap is a network exploration and security auditing tool. It can be used to identify hosts and services on a network, as well as security issues. Nmap is a powerful tool that can be used for both good and bad purposes. In the hands of a skilled attacker, Nmap can be used to launch sophisticated attacks. In the hands of a security professional, Nmap can be used to secure networks and identify potential vulnerabilities.

Nmap can also be used to brute force passwords by using scripts that launch dictionary attacks. These scripts work by sending a large number of password guesses to a target host and then analyzing the responses to see if the password was guessed correctly. This type of attack can be very effective, especially if a weak password is being used.
