Some options for medusa

Did anybody use medusa before?

I am trying to connect to a device that use telnet, I tried to do it with medusa coming with Back Track 4 beta.

medusa -h 192.168.1.1 -P passnu.txt -M telnet

I got an error, so I typed:

medusa -h 192.168.1.1 -u root -P passnu.txt -M telnet

I got:

ERROR: telnet.mod. No login prompt detected.

I know that there is not login, but how I tell to medusa that do not use login?

Did you try checking the manual? (type: man medusa)

Try specifying the port to use. It may be expecting a login prompt if the default Telnet port is used.

The manual said something about - (n/ns/s) but it is talking about no mor passwords, etc.

The option -M telnet with this I am telling that is the port 23

I found the problem, I tried before but with '' instead of ""

So the expression is:

medusa -h 192.168.1.1 -u "" -P passnu.txt -M telnet
