Hi,

Please help me to solve the Brutus issue, I am trying to learn to make safe my network, in the part of this procedure, I am learning Brutus password cracker, while entering targeting node address, its showing that " unable to verify Target, check connection settings." I have rechecked my entries and turned off my system firewall as well, but still its not working.. Please let me know if any solution for this issue..

For some reason it is unable to establish a socket with the host. FYI... The last time brutus was updated was like 1999. Yes, it's made from VB6 (at the latest) and for Windows98/2000 and early XP.

If you want to audit your network, try a fresh copy of Backtrack 5 R1. It's much more up to date. Medusa and n-crack are good, too.

Thnx for the quick response.. are there any other programs which works as Brutus? Please let me know if anything is there as we are not using linux at all..

I'd guess there are several. What you are looking to do is easy to program.

Brutus has not been updated since before Windows XP was using raw sockets.... Get Kali Linux and try Medusa or Hydra. There was even a version of Hydra ported to Windows (unsure how current). Classic cars are cool.... 30 year old whiskey is REALLY cool.... 20 year old software not so cool. :-)
