Password Spray Wordlist Generator

A handy tool that helps you to create your own wordlist for Metasploit framework, in order to carry out a password spray attack against various network protocols in your victims' domain, such as SMB :)

Description

Metasploit has multiple modules that can be utilized to perform a brute force attack against various services or protocols. Take "SMB_Login" module as an example, it tries to obtain the passwords of victims by testing multiple logins against a system with open SMB protocol .

As an ethical hacker , you may have experienced situations that you cannot perform a brute force attack due to limitations like "Account Lockout" policy. In those cases, we can utilize the password spray technique that helps us to bypass detection mechanisms.

Brute Force Password Spray

A brute force attack tests various passwords against one username until the whole password list is finished. After that a new username is being selected and the whole process is started all over again. Something like the following:

Username Password #Round
user1 pass1 1
user1 pass2 1
... ... 1
user1 pass1000 1
user2 pass1 2
user2 pass2 2
... ... 2
user2 pass1000 2
... ... ...

On the other hand, password spray attack tests a single password against all the usernames in our username list till all of them are being tested once. Then a new password is being selected and the test begins as described. For instance:

Username Password #Round
user1 pass1 1
user2 pass1 1
... ... 1
user1000 pass1 1
user1 pass2 2
user2 pass2 2
... ... 2
user1000 pass2 2
... ... ...

But unfortunately, we cannot simply configure Metasploit's modules to support password spray method. To overcome this situation, one can use Metasploit's parameter called USERPASS_FILE : File containing users and passwords separated by space, one pair per line in its modules (if available) and passes a file containing usernsmes and passwords that are seperated from eachother by a space character.

This tool creates that wordlist with the purpose of performing a successful password spray attack against victim's network.

Usage:

git clone https://github.com/Cyb3r-Techie/MSF_PassSpray_Wordlist_Generator.git
chmod +x msf_passspray.sh
 Parameters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 --userlist / -u        define the path of your username wordlist [required]
 --passlist / -p        define the path of your password wordlist [required]
 --help     / -h        show this help message and exit!
