Brute Force Hacking Tool
Ophcrack is another brute-forcing tool specially used for cracking Windows passwords. It cracks Windows passwords by using LM hashes through rainbow tables. It is a free and open-source tool. In most cases, it can crack a Windows password in a few minutes. This password cracker is able to auto-detect the type of encryption used in almost any password, and will change its password test algorithm accordingly, making it one of the most intelligent password cracking tools ever. This ethical hacking tool uses brute force technology to decipher passwords and algorithms such as: DES, MD5, Blowfish. When you need to brute force crack a remote authentication service, Hydra is often the tool of choice. It can perform rapid dictionary attacks against more than 50 protocols and services including telnet, ftp, http, https, smb, several databases, and much more.
After what feels like an eternity (one year to the date since Medusa version 1.5), Medusa 2.0 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: AFP, CVS, FTP, HTTP, IMAP, MS-SQL, MySQL, NCP (NetWare), NNTP, PcAnywhere, POP3, PostgreSQL, rexec, rlogin, rsh, SMB, SMTP (AUTH/VRFY), SNMP, SSHv2, SVN, Telnet, VmAuthd, VNC. It also includes a basic web form module and a generic wrapper module for external scripts.

Features
- Thread-based parallel testing. Brute-force testing can be performed against multiple hosts, users or passwords concurrently.
- Flexible user input. Target information (host/user/password) can be specified in a variety of ways. For example, each item can be either a single entry or a file containing multiple entries. Additionally, a combination file format allows the user to refine their target listing.
- Modular design. Each service module exists as an independent .mod file. This means that no modifications are necessary to the core application in order to extend the supported list of services for brute-forcing.
This release contains the most significant changes to the core of Medusa since its original release in 2005. We’ve moved to a “real” thread pool and modified how credential sets are selected. For a more detailed list of changes check the ChangeLog here.

While Medusa was designed to serve the same purpose as THC-Hydra, there are several significant differences. For a brief comparison see Medusa Compare.
