Problem

How to use the nxc ssh command: Pentest and exploit SSH servers. See also: hydra. More information: <https://www.netexec.wiki/ssh-protocol/password-spraying>.

Solution

nxc ssh — Pentest and exploit SSH servers. See also: hydra. More information: <https://www.netexec.wiki/ssh-protocol/password-spraying>.

Spray the specified password against a list of usernames on the specified target:
nxc ssh {{192.168.178.2}} {{[-u|--username]}} {{path/to/usernames.txt}} {{[-p|--password]}} {{password}}


Search for valid credentials by trying out every combination in the specified lists of usernames and passwords:
nxc ssh {{192.168.178.2}} {{[-u|--username]}} {{path/to/usernames.txt}} {{[-p|--password]}} {{path/to/passwords.txt}}


Use the specified private key for authentication, using the supplied password as the key's passphrase:
nxc ssh {{192.186.178.2}} {{[-u|--username]}} {{path/to/usernames.txt}} {{[-p|--password]}} {{password}} --key-file {{path/to/id_rsa}}


Try a combination of username and password on a number of targets:
nxc ssh {{192.168.178.0/24}} {{[-u|--username]}} {{username}} {{[-p|--password]}} {{password}}


Check for sudo privileges on a successful login:
nxc ssh {{192.168.178.2}} {{[-u|--username]}} {{username}} {{[-p|--password]}} {{path/to/passwords.txt}} --sudo-check
