[Full-disclosure] Patator - new multi-purpose brute-forcing tool

[lanjelot <lanjelot@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello FD,

Released two months ago, and downloaded a few thousand times since, I
wanted to share with you a new multi-purpose brute-forcing tool named
Patator (http://code.google.com/p/patator/).

I am posting here because I would like to get more feedback from
people using it, so feel free to fire me an email if you have any
queries, or rather use the issues tracker on patator project page.

To put it bluntly, I just got tired of using Medusa, Hydra, ncrack,
metasploit auxiliary modules, nmap NSE scripts and the like because:
 - they either do not work or are not reliable (got me false
negatives several times in the past)
 - they are slow (not multi-threaded or not testing multiple
passwords within the same TCP connection)
 - they lack very useful features that are easy to code in python
(eg. interactive runtime)

Basically you should give Patator a try once you get disappointed by
Medusa, Hydra or other brute-forcing tools and are about to code your
own small script because Patator will allow you to:
 - Not write the same code over and over, due to its a modular design
and flexible usage
 - Run multi-threaded
 - Benefit from useful features such as the interactive runtime
commands, automatic response logging, etc.

Currently Patator supports the following modules :
 - ftp_login     : Brute-force FTP
 - ssh_login     : Brute-force SSH
 - telnet_login  : Brute-force Telnet
 - smtp_login    : Brute-force SMTP
 - smtp_vrfy     : Enumerate valid users using the SMTP 'VRFY' command
 - smtp_rcpt     : Enumerate valid users using the SMTP 'RCPT TO' command
 - http_fuzz     : Brute-force HTTP/HTTPS
 - pop_passd     : Brute-force poppassd (not POP3)
 - ldap_login    : Brute-force LDAP
 - smb_login     : Brute-force SMB
 - mssql_login   : Brute-force MSSQL
 - oracle_login  : Brute-force Oracle
 - mysql_login   : Brute-force MySQL
 - pgsql_login   : Brute-force PostgreSQL
 - vnc_login     : Brute-force VNC

 - dns_forward   : Forward lookup subdomains
 - dns_reverse   : Reverse lookup subnets
 - snmp_login    : Brute-force SNMPv1/2 and SNMPv3

 - unzip_pass    : Brute-force the password of encrypted ZIP files
 - keystore_pass : Brute-force the password of Java keystore files

The name "Patator" comes from the famous weapon :
