Identifies the basic password combinations. Quick has the shortest duration because it attempts less than 25 known user name and password combinations. Quick uses a static list of credentials and tries them against discovered services. The list of credentials include:
After the bruteforce attack tries the static credentials list, it tries the user names with a blank password. The bruteforce attack prepends known credentials to the static list.

Attempts a fixed maximum number of credentials. The normal mode takes approximately 5 minutes per host on a fast LAN. The normal mode focuses on common, protocol-specific user names as well as discovered user names and passwords. The normal mode identifies discovered passwords from a list of common passwords. Most protocols have common defaults, which Metasploit Pro tries after known good credentials on other services.
The system tries these generated credentials after the current known good credentials. The system adjusts the credentials figures after each successive run, if the credentials become known as the modules run.
|
|
Attempts three times more passwords than the normal mode. The deep mode takes 15-20 minutes for each host on a fast LAN, if all services are enabled. The additional passwords come from the common password list.
For the few protocols that support fast enough guesses, passwords are subject to a fixed set of transformations. For example, 1 for I and 0 for O.

Runs a bruteforce attack, prints a transcript of the modules, and quits the attack. Metasploit Pro does not run a live bruteforce attack against the target system.

Recombine known, imported, and additional credentials
|
Takes the user names and passwords from the known credentials list, imported list, and credentials text box, and assigns all the passwords to all users.
|
|
Uses all known credentials from the project. The bruteforce attack tries the known passwords first. All credentials that are “known only” and “quick” are not affected by the credential generation switch.
