Brutespray has been re-written in Golang, eliminating the requirement for additional tools. This enhanced version is more extensive and operates at a significantly faster pace than its Python counterpart. As of now, Brutespray accepts input from Nmap’s GNMAP/XML output, newline-separated JSON files, Nexpose’s XML Export feature, Nessus exports in .nessus format, and various lists.

Only use this tool against systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test — see the disclaimer.

Getting started

Install on Kali Linux with `sudo apt install brutespray`. See the official Kali tool page and upstream homepage linked above for full usage and configuration details.
