Description: Cisco device scanner
The main feature that makes cisco-torch different from
similar tools is the extensive use of forking to launch
multiple scanning processes on the background for maximum
scanning efficiency. Also, it uses several methods of
application layer fingerprinting simultaneoulsy, if needed.
We wanted something fast to discover remote Cisco hosts
running Telnet, SSH, Web, NTP, TFTP and SNMP services and
launch dicitionary attacks against the services discovered,
including SNMP community attack (you would like the
community.txt list :-) and TFTP servers (configuration
file name bruteforcing with following config leeching). The
tool can also get device configurationfiles automatically
if SNMP RW community is found.
