Hello,

This does not only apply for Cisco routers, but I think this would be quite easy to code such a tool using Perl or another scripting language. It would read a dictionary file and send lines to std input, then reconnect after three attempts. An idea would be to perform a multi-threaded bruteforce attack, have you tried this with Hydra ?

Once again, to bruteforce web forms, you could script and use curl.

Regards,

Jeremy

This is more of a general brute forcing question, but one which I could use 
some assistance.

I am attempting to brute force some telnet sessions (Cisco Routers - CISCO IOS 12.2 and IOS 12.3(8), Cisco 1721 router). When telnet'ing in, it only prompts me for a PW (Not a username). It has a 3 attempts disconnect, so I get disconnected and have to reconnect.

My question is:
How and what tool should I use to try and brute force (dictionary attack) this 
session?
I have tried Hydra, but when I get disconnected (after 3 attempts), it tells me it is 
"finished".  Not sure if there is a way to make it reconnect.  Is there a 
better tool or other techniques that would work better?

Second question: Brute forcing also, but against WebPages.  For example, a 
Cisco 3000 VPN Concentrator, I have the webpage asking for username/password.  
How would I attempt to dictionary attack this?

Thanks,
Sparky
