SSHStorm

SSHStorm is a Python script that performs a brute-force attack on SSH login credentials using a list of common passwords. It attempts to authenticate against a specified SSH server and reports any successful password discoveries.

Features

  • Test SSH login attempts using a list of commonly used passwords.
  • Simple and intuitive command-line interface.
  • Provides immediate feedback on password validity for each attempt.

Technologies Used

  • Python 3
  • paramiko library for SSH connections

Usage

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/secusavvy/SSHStorm.git
    cd SSHStorm
  2. Run the script:

    python SSHStorm.py
  3. Configuration:

    • Edit the host, username, and password_file variables in the script to match your target settings.
    • Place your list of common passwords in ssh-common-passwords.txt.
  4. Execution:

    • The script will sequentially attempt each password from the list and display whether the password is valid or not.

How It Works

  • The script reads passwords from a specified file and tries each one against the SSH server.
  • For each password, it uses the paramiko library to attempt an SSH connection.
  • If a valid password is found, it prints the successful password and stops further attempts.
  • Invalid passwords are reported, and the script continues with the next password.
