authoscope
A scriptable network authentication cracker for custom services, using Lua scripts to test credentials.
What is authoscope?
Authoscope is a scriptable network authentication cracker designed for security testing of custom services. It enables users to write Lua scripts that define a service's authentication logic, while the tool handles concurrency, progress tracking, and reporting. It specifically targets non-standard web applications or proprietary authentication protocols where existing tools like Hydra or Ncrack are insufficient.
Security professionals and penetration testers who need to test custom authentication mechanisms in web applications, proprietary services, or non-standard protocols. It is also suitable for developers writing their own credential testing scripts for unique authentication schemes.
Authoscope offers extensibility through Lua scripting, allowing users to rapidly test any authentication scheme without rewriting entire tools. Its built-in libraries for HTTP, LDAP, MySQL, sockets, and cryptography, combined with automatic concurrency management, provide a flexible and efficient alternative to generic bruteforce tools.
