Gobuster is a tool used to brute-force. This project is born out of the necessity to have something that didn't have a fat Java GUI (console FTW), something that did not do recursive brute force, something that allowed me to brute force folders and multiple extensions at once, something that compiled to native on multiple platforms, something that was faster than an interpreted script (such as Python), and something that didn't require a runtime. ...

SSHGuard protects hosts from brute-force attacks against SSH and other services. It aggregates system logs and blocks repeat offenders using several firewall backends, including iptables, ipfw, and pf.

...It provides a uniform interface for modern algorithms such as Argon2, Bcrypt, and PBKDF2 (implemented in companion packages), along with guidance for salts, cost factors, and timing-safe comparisons. The library’s helpers make it straightforward to add registration and login flows that resist brute-force and side-channel attacks. Migration paths and checks are included so you can upgrade algorithms or work factors over time without breaking existing credentials. Its focus on practical ergonomics—clear APIs, sensible defaults, and good docs—has made it the de facto choice for password handling in Elixir. By centralizing hashing concerns, Comeonin helps teams avoid subtle security mistakes while keeping authentication code terse and testable.

Ophcrack is a Windows password cracker based on a time-memory trade-off using rainbow tables. This is a new variant of Hellman's original trade-off, with better performance. It recovers 99.9% of alphanumeric passwords in seconds.

BlockSSHD protects computers from SSH brute force attacks by dynamically blocking IP addresses by adding iptables rules.

BRUTALIS - BRUTeforce ALternative Is Stupid. Brutalis generate brute force passwords. It can be integrated in any command line for an attack and support resume, character panel, minimum and maximum length, special separating characters and more.

Secwatch is an intrusion detection system using log analysis to detect service scan and other brute-force attempts on a server or other computer using system logs and will create temporary firewall rules to block offending IPs

Script to automatically update /etc/hosts.deny due to use of an illegal username or excessive bad passwords. Written to prevent the success of a brute force attack.

Sherlock Roams is a Python-based password auditing tool for Un*x-based systems. It uses a brute force approach on the shadow file (or the regular password file if that fails) to determine which users on your system have obviously insecure passwords.
