Medusa: A Speedy, Parallel And Modular Login Brute-forcing Tool


About Medusa
   Medusa is a speedy, parallel, and modular, login brute-forcer. The goal is to support as many services which allow remote authentication as possible. The author considers following items as some of the key features of this application:

   Thread-based parallel testing. Brute-force testing can be performed against multiple hosts, users or passwords concurrently.

   Flexible user input. Target information (host/user/password) can be specified in a variety of ways. For example, each item can be either a single entry or a file containing multiple entries. Additionally, a combination file format allows the user to refine their target listing.

   Modular design. Each service module exists as an independent .mod file. This means that no modifications are necessary to the core application in order to extend the supported list of services for brute-forcing.

   Multiple protocols supported. Many services are currently supported (e.g. SMB, HTTP, MS-SQL, POP3, RDP, SSHv2, among others).

   See doc/medusa.html for Medusa documentation. For additional information:

The Dawn of a Global Bitcoin Gold Rush: Why Governments May Soon Join the Race

Picture a world where governments, not just early adopters and tech enthusiasts, scramble to hold Bitcoin before their geopolitical rivals do. This scenario, once considered science fiction, is becoming increasingly plausible. As major asset managers hint at portfolio exposure, U.S. political leaders signal a shift toward pro-crypto regulation, and states within the U.S. prepare strategic Bitcoin reserves, the stage is set for a massive influx of institutional and governmental participation. Far from the fleeting hype cycles of the past, this is a moment backed by data, historical patterns, and powerful players with trillions of dollars at their disposal. In 2020, Bitcoin's meteoric rise coincided with a similar point in its four-year halving cycle. Fast forward to 2024: conditions now are even more favorable, with unprecedented scarcity in the market and global interests aligning to accelerate adoption. The impatience seen in some corners of the crypto community, worried that Bitc...
