"github_readme_excerpt": "# authoscope [![Crates.io][crates-img]][crates]\n\n[crates-img]: https://img.shields.io/crates/v/authoscope.svg\n[crates]: https://crates.io/crates/authoscope\n\nauthoscope is a scriptable network authentication cracker. While the space for\ncommon service bruteforce is already [very][ncrack] [well][hydra]\n[saturated][medusa], you may still end up writing your own python scripts when\ntesting credentials for web applications.\n\n[ncrack]: https://nmap.org/ncrack/\n[hydra]: https://github.com/vanhauser-thc/thc-hydra\n[medusa]: https://github.com/jmk-foofus/medusa\n\nThe scope of authoscope is specifically cracking custom services. This is done\nby writing scripts that are loaded into a lua runtime. Those scripts represent\na single service and provide a `verify(user, password)` function that returns\neither true or false. Concurrency, progress indication and reporting is\nmagically provided by the authoscope runtime.\n\n[](https://asciinema.org/a/Ke5rHVsz5sJePNUK1k0ASAvuZ)\n\n## Installation\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://repology.org/project/authoscope/versions\"\u003e\u003cimg align=\"right\" src=\"https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/authoscope.svg\" alt=\"Packaging status\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n\nIf you are on an Arch Linux based system, use\n\n pacman -S authoscope\n\nIf you are on Mac OSX, use\n\n brew install authoscope\n\nTo build from source, make sure you have [rust](https://rustup.rs/) and `libssl-dev` installed and run\n\n cargo install\n\nVerify your setup is complete with\n\n authoscope --help\n\n### Debian\n1. Install essential build tools\n```\nsudo apt-get update \u0026\u0026 sudo apt-get dist-upgrade\nsudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev pkg-config\n```\n2. Install rust\n```\ncurl -sf -L https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup.sh | sh\nsource $HOME/.cargo/env\n```\n3. Install authoscope\n```\ncd /path/to/authoscope\ncargo install\n```\n\n## Scripting\n\nA simple script could look like this:\n\n```lua\ndescr = \"example.com\"\n\nfunction verify(user, password)\n ses",
