Fellow Pen-testers: Version 1.3 of Medusa is now available for public download. What is Medusa? Medusa is a speedy, massively parallel, modular, login brute-forcer for network services created by the geeks at Foofus.net. It currently has modules for the following services: CVS, FTP, HTTP, IMAP, MS-SQL, MySQL, NCP (NetWare), PcAnywhere, POP3, PostgreSQL, rexec, rlogin, rsh, SMB, SMTP (VRFY), SNMP, SSHv2, SVN, Telnet, VmAuthd, VNC, and a generic wrapper module. While Medusa was designed to serve the same purpose as THC-Hydra, there are several significant differences. For a brief comparison, see: http://www.foofus.net/jmk/medusa/medusa-compare.html This release fixes several autoconf issues and a number of minor bugs. A somewhat detailed report is available here: http://www.foofus.net/jmk/medusa/ChangeLog Finally, the main documentation and actual files are located here: http://www.foofus.net/jmk/medusa/medusa.html http://www.foofus.net/jmk/tools/medusa-1.3.tar.gz Medusa was developed on Gentoo Linux and FreeBSD. Some limited testing has been done on other platforms/distributions (OpenBSD, Debian, Ubuntu, Darwin, Solaris). If people wish to contribute patches to fix portability issues, I'd be happy to accept them. There are probably lots of bugs which have yet to surface. Please let me know if you encounter issues, fix a bug or just find the application useful.
