Project Name

CVE-2021-22555 attack script

Description

This project is an automatic attack tool implemented in Python. It performs various security tests and attacks on a target system running Ubuntu 20.04 with kernel version 5.8.0-48. The tool includes functionalities such as ping, live host detection, full open scan, SSH brute force, and exploitation of the CVE-2021-2255 vulnerability. This project is a part of Network Security course project at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University.

Notice: Since the requirement of the project is single executeable file so we only create a single python file here.
