'Attack Default SSH Username/Passwords Using Metasploit' cybersecurity metasploit

. You will need this later so write it down.

You are done with the Raspberry Pi. It is now just another server on a network doing normal computer things with SSH enabled on Port 22. A secure Linux machine serving up web pages and user accounts on the Internet. This can be any machine, but for this example, it is our target.On our attacking Kali Linux machine, we need to set up some files and configure Metasploit to exploit the Raspberry Pi victim’s server. There is nothing complicated here, just some small attention to detail.

To keep it simple, this exploit uses a list of custom usernames and a list of select passwords. Each username and password are on separate lines in their respective files. To keep this test short and interesting, the lists contain common default usernames and passwords for some Raspberry Pi distributions. You can use any dictionary for this exploit, but we are going to create a simple one for this example.Our target group of computers in our testing lab are Raspberry Pi’s.

The success of this exploit is banking on the fact that admins do not change the default login credentials.
