I have many thoughts about Ncrack.

About HTTP, how do you choose if you want to crack basic authentication,
.htaccess or a web form ?
And what if you want to crack two different web forms in a row ?

Are all the protocols using the same login list and password list (and
community list) ?
Why not but the lists are not exactly the same. You will try "anonymous" on
every FTP of curse, but you will try "anonymous" on snmp, telnet, ssh, ...

In fact the only cracker which want to crack differents protocols in the
same time is ciscotorch.
If I am right, Hydra and Medusa crack only one protocol.

I have no idea about Ncrack command line except that it must take the xml
from nmap in input.

Best regards,
Dnucna

using slashes?
I suggested brackets because Nmap allows their use in port specification:
nmap -p [-1024]
to mean (in this case) TCP ports listed in nmap-services up-to and
including port 1024.

How the [] modifiers interact with --top-ports and --port-ratio
is described in this message:

http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q2/0224.html

To the best of my knowledge it is accurate to the current version
of Nmap (except for "PROPOSED FURTHER EXTENSION"). Although mostly
obsoleted by port ratios, the square bracket syntax is still
necessary to implement -F on systems with only /etc/services
(and not a recent nmap-services).

 I wasn't aware that they might need to be escaped.

In bash and ksh square brackets don't usually need to be escaped.
The only cases I can think of involve the test operator:

doug@eclipse:~$ if [ 1 == 1 ] ; then echo hi ; fi
hi
doug@eclipse:~$ if [ 1 == 0 ] ; then echo hi ; fi
doug@eclipse:~$

But this only takes effect if [ is written by itself and only in certain
contexts. TRIVIA: on many older unix systems /bin/[ was a symlink to
/bin/test for this purpose.

I can't remember tcsh well enough to say what the conflicts are but
it looks like escaping IS necessary there:

eclipse:~> ls [-1024]
ls: No match.
eclipse:~> ls \[-1024\]
ls: cannot access [-1024]: No such file or directory

Please forgive my spotty shell scripting knowledge but I switched
to perl and never looked back. ;)

Best,

Doug
