I had to change this script a lot, so take with a grain of salt. That said, we changed about 1000 LOCAL passwords in a couple hours – which would have really taken all day and been more boring.
This program is a hillclimbing program solution to the 8 queens problem. The algorithm is silly in some places, but suits the purposes for this assignment I think. It was tested with python 2.6.1 with psyco installed. If big runs are being tried, having psyco may be important to maintain sanity, since it will speed things up significanlty. Otherwise, you may want to stick to –numrun being less than around 50.
This is a stupid script to scan a class b network. I only wanted a detailed scan of hosts that exist (which I generated with a ping scan). I also wanted this information separated by file.
