Test network security with the NetBrute Scanner suite. In this The Right Tool for the Job? blog post, Joshua Hoskins explains how NetBrute, PortScan, and WebBrute can help you find holes in your firewall, locate open ports, detect File & Print Sharing resources, and test password strength on Web directories protected with HTTP authentication. Here are several screenshots of NetBrute, PortScan, and WebBrute in action.

This screenshot shows a NetBrute scan for a single computer. Just enter the computer’s name to scan it. You can also scan for Disk or Print shares.

This is the WebBrute brute force Web site cracker. Enter the site you want to crack in the top right box. You can then browse to your username and password files. You can also create the username and password files yourself. Just create a txt document with a username or password on each line.

Verification is the 2nd step in the WebBrute process. This step gathers information about the type Web server you are connecting to and what is running on that website.
