THC-Archive/Tools/thc_ssh_crack.c

/*
 * THC/2003
 *
 * Simple ssh-private key cracker. Tries to brute force (dictionary
 * attack) almost any ssh private key file format.
 *
 * This is just a quick tool from THC. Using OpenSSL is not really
 * fast...
 *
 * COMPILE:
 *     gcc -Wall -O2 -o thc-ssh-crack thc-ssh-crack.c -lssl
 *
 * RUN:
 * John is a good password generator. We use it for thc-ssh-crack:
 * 
 * $ john -stdout -incremental | nice -19 thc-ssh-crack id_dsa
 *
 * Normal dictionary (without john's permutation engine):
 *
 * $ nice -19 thc-ssh-crack id_dsa <dictionary.txt
 *
 * Enjoy,
 *
