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 Base Blockchain Airdrop: Hidden Opportunities You Don’t Want to Miss!

The Base blockchain, supported by Coinbase, is making waves in the crypto space with its surging Total Value Locked (TVL) and potential airdrop opportunities. In this article, we'll dive deep into Base's ecosystem, its key protocols, and strategies for maximizing potential rewards. We'll also explore SynFutures, a standout perpetual protocol, and other exciting opportunities that could set the stage for a lucrative airdrop. Base Blockchain: A Rising Star Current Status Base has climbed to the sixth position among blockchains in terms of TVL, surpassing even Arbitrum, the long-time leader in Ethereum Layer 2 solutions. With $4 billion+ in TVL , Base's rapid growth is drawing attention from the crypto community. Why the Excitement Around a Potential Airdrop? Coinbase Backing: As a leading exchange, Coinbase's involvement ensures credibility and innovation. Changing Regulations: With evolving regulatory clarity, there's renewed optimism for potential rewards lik...

Reversing C++ String And QString

After the rust string overview of its internal substructures, let's see if c++ QString storage is more light, but first we'r going to take a look to the c++ standard string object: At first sight we can see the allocation and deallocation created by the clang++ compiler, and the DAT_00400d34 is the string. If we use same algorithm than the rust code but in c++: We have a different decompilation layout. Note that the Ghidra scans very fast the c++ binaries, and with  rust binaries gets crazy for a while. Locating main is also very simple in a c++ compiled binary, indeed is more  low-level than rust. The byte array is initialized with a simply move instruction:         00400c4b 48 b8 68        MOV        RAX,0x6f77206f6c6c6568 And basic_string generates the string, in the case of  rust this was carazy endless set of calls, detected by ghidra as a runtime, but nevertheless the basic_str...
