Juan,

create a perl script which generates a dictionairy file for you with all the potentail usernames, and another file with the potential passwords. Load a dictionairy attack with Hydra.

Also, check wether the loginnames are LIMITED to 4 chars or EXACTLY 4 chars. Same remark for passwords. This could save you a lot of login attempts ...

kind regards,

Hi,

I am conducting a pen test for a client of mine.
in his web server he is using basic authntication
(base 64)
I need to issue a brute force attack against his
authentication scheme.
I know that the users and password are all numbers.
foe example the user might be something as:
5486
and the password could be :

546846533
The users are limited to 4 numbers and the passwords
for 8 numbers.

How I can tell brutus or hydra to use only numbers in
the brute force?

Thanks very much !

Juan
