Medusa 1.4 Release

Subject: Medusa 1.4 Release
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2007 14:56:02 -0500
Fellow Pen-testers:

Version 1.4 of Medusa is now available for public download.

What is Medusa? Medusa is a speedy, massively parallel, modular, login
brute-forcer for network services created by the geeks at Foofus.net. It
currently has modules for the following services: CVS, FTP, HTTP, IMAP,
MS-SQL, MySQL, NCP (NetWare), NNTP, PcAnywhere, POP3, PostgreSQL, rexec,
rlogin, rsh, SMB, SMTP (AUTH/VRFY), SNMP, SSHv2, SVN, Telnet, VmAuthd,
VNC. It also includes a basic web form module and a generic wrapper
module for external scripts.

While Medusa was designed to serve the same purpose as THC-Hydra, there
are several significant differences. For a brief comparison, see:

http://www.foofus.net/jmk/medusa/medusa-compare.html

It's been over a year since version 1.3 was released and there has been
a bunch of changes. This release includes multiple bug fixes, several
new modules and additional module functionality. A somewhat detailed
report is available here:

Finally, the main documentation and actual files are located here:

Medusa was developed on Gentoo Linux and FreeBSD. Some limited testing
has been done on other platforms/distributions (OpenBSD, Debian, Ubuntu,
Darwin, Mac OS X, Solaris). If people wish to contribute patches to fix
portability issues, I'd be happy to accept them. There are probably lots
of bugs which have yet to surface. Please let me know if you encounter
issues, fix a bug or just find the application useful.

Enjoy,
Joe
