Installation

To get started with AuthCrack, you need to clone the repository and install the required packages.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/fadimvp/AuthCrack-v8.git
   cd AuthCrack-v8

2. Install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

To run AuthCrack, you need to execute the main script with the appropriate parameters. Here’s a basic command structure:

python authcrack.py --url <target_url> --username <username> --wordlist <path_to_wordlist>

Example

python authcrack.py --url http://example.com/login --username admin --wordlist /path/to/wordlist.txt

For more detailed options, check the help command:

python authcrack.py --help

How It Works

AuthCrack operates by sending multiple login requests to the target URL. It uses either a list of common passwords or a custom wordlist to attempt to gain access. The tool captures responses from the server to determine whether the login was successful or not.

Key Components

• HTTP Requests: AuthCrack utilizes Python's requests library to handle HTTP communication.
• Response Analysis: The tool analyzes server responses to identify successful logins.
• Error Handling: Built-in mechanisms to manage failed requests and timeouts.

Security Considerations

While AuthCrack is a powerful tool for ethical hacking, it is essential to use it responsibly. Always obtain permission before testing any system. Unauthorized access to systems is illegal and unethical.
