A fairly popular tool in the environment of computer hackers - bruteforce attack or dictionary attack. This method is suitable for those cases when all other ways to penetrate the remote system are exhausted. Therefore, it is so attractive to the script kiddis (novice crackers), who are unable to thoroughly study the system on the vulnerability. Such go to the "frontal attack" and at first do not even know how to use brutus aet2, even such an elementary program.

But it happens that there really is not any other available way (like, for example, in popular mail services or ssh shells) to get into the account. Then really such an attack is acceptable. To conduct it you need a fairly wide Internet channel, specialized software and preferably a good dictionary. Good programs are not so many - one of them brutus aet2, the setting of which is very simple. We will consider it in this article.

The interface of the utility is extremely concise and pragmatic. Let's see how to use brutus aet2. First, you need to specify the server on which the attacked account is located and the type of protocol (all the main required protocols are present). You can also set a non-standard port for the service on which the password is selected. Next, we set the number of threads (simultaneous attempts) - the more they are there, the faster the brute force will work. Focus on the bandwidth of the Internet channel and the power of the channel leading to the server, whose account hacking is planned. Then you will need to set a timeout - this parameter determines how many milliseconds to wait for a response from the server after the next attempt. The lower this value, the faster the brute force will work, but it's not worthwhile to set the minimum (the connection can be completed before the server responds - and then the attack will be completely meaningless).

We warn that it is mandatory to find a "good" dictionary, meaning Russian or English mentality when setting a password, the path to which should be set in the next step. The format of the file should be as follows: one password - one line. You can download it at any forum where computer hooligans or venerable experts in the field of information security gather. Without a database of ready-made passwords, the question of how to use brutus aet2 is simply meaningless, since for our purposes this is a "rifle without cartridges." A search without a dictionary can last for years, since the number of possible variations is estimated at billions (just raise the number of possible characters to the same degree.) If you only count the English alphabet in lowercase and numbers, then it's 34 to 34 degrees! One account, create a users.txt file with one account. You can also set the number of attempts (unlimited by default). If there is a possibility (access to a high-speed and anonymous proxy server), you can take care of your own security and set a proxy. After all, the logs of the server are statistics on connections - and your real IP address will be visible. An alternative solution is to run the program on a remote server, which is not connected to you via RDP.

So, everything is ready. To start, we press the "Start" button. At any time, the attack can be completed or paused using Stop. The set parameters can be reset using the "Clear" button. Now you know how to use brutus aet2. We warn you! The process can last for a week, and the result is not guaranteed at all. Therefore, it is recommended to allocate a separate server for this experiment and just wait. Do not forget that the way of primitive search of passwords is effective only when all other methods are exhausted. Today, many users have managed to use password managers and set passwords in tens or more characters. So do not lose sight of the methods of social engineering, which allow you to learn the password using human psychology. But from the very beginning it is worthwhile to ask yourself, so whether you need to engage in burglary. It should be remembered that this is also illegal (272 and 273 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). And if you are using the brutus aet2 program for the legitimate purposes (forgot the password from the electronic box), the instruction how to master this utility will not take much time. Just read and try. This is the best way for a beginner to understand information security to learn something new.
