Chimera WILL NOT eat up 100% CPU time under normal conditions (as Hydra often likes to). My goal is to implement most of them in chimera. Unfortunately it uses fork() to do it's job, making it a lot less efficient. Hydra - the best remote passwd cracking tool out there. The http, http-proxy, imap, ldap, nntp and telnet modules are still in beta, so please don't bitch at me, just send in bug reports. You can also manage the number of threads used, as well as the connection timing, max connection errors, thread creation speed and other values. You can supply a user-defined charset of use a pre-defined one. You can use passwords from wordlists, feed them from stdin or use a variety of brute force methods. Since version 0.29.9 Chimera supports IPv6. It currently supports ftp, http, http-proxy, imap, ldap, mysql, nntp, pop3, telnet protocols. Chimera was designed to be a fast, thread based, remote password cracking tool.
