python_http_dictionary_attack

Is a threaded pentesting scanner for basic HTTP authorization using dictionary attack. It is an attempt in which the script tries to log in with username and a password. Each time the script tries it uses a different word in the dictionary file.

A dictionary attack is a technique for defeating a cipher or authentication mechanism by trying to determine its decryption key or passphrase by trying hundreds or sometimes millions of likely possibilities, such as words in a dictionary.

In this tool, you have two dictionary files needed for arguments:

A list of user dictionary
A list of password dictionary

Basically you have 3 arguments. The host, user dictionary file and password dictionary file.

Usage: python python_http_dictionary_attack.py [URL_DOMAIN] [userdict.txt] [passdict.txt]
