I had a problem with someone hacking into a Linux box of mine and now I'm trying to recover the passwords with an SSH2 brute force program called guesswho.
There is little documentation with it and I am having some trouble getting it to play ball. First of all, it doesn't seem to work on the root account. All I'm after is access to certain warez so not too bothered about that for the moment. The account that I am attempting to brute back into is called live.
I ran the software from the bash prompt as follows:
guesswho ./b -l root -h 192.168.1.15 -p 22 -2
The program doesn't seem to run without the ./b switch and to be perfectly honest I have no idea what it means. The program seems to run for a bit (I see both heavy network and CPU utilisation) and then to hang and do nothing. Any help would be great.
