Modular brute force tool written in Python, for very fast password spraying SSH, and FTP and in the near future other network services.
COMING SOON: SMB, HTTP(s) POST, HTTP(s) GET, HTTP BASIC AUTH Thanks to @0dayctf, Rondons, Enigma, and 001 for testing and contributing

Service The service to brute force (currently implemented 'SSH')
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-U USERS, --users USERS
Either a single user, or the path to the file of users you wish to use
-P PASSWORDS, --passwords PASSWORDS
Either a single password, or the path to the password list you wish to use
-p PORT, --port PORT The port you wish to target (only required if running on a non standard port)
-t THREADS, --threads THREADS
Number of threads to use
-q [QUIET [QUIET ...]], --quiet [QUIET [QUIET ...]]
