Summary | 0002284: Medusa crashes when attacking SSH service in multi-threaded (with -t for multi-logins or -T for multi-hots) manner. | ||||
Description | The crash message: medusa: ath.c:193: _gcry_ath_mutex_lock: Assertion `*lock == ((ath_mutex_t) 0)' failed. This is a known bug. The medusa developer once commented on it here -- The solution can also be found on the page above. Basically you need to manually build the libssh2 with dependency on libssl-dev instead of libgcrypt-dev. And then have only medusa use that manually-built library. I stress only so that you don't introduce unexpected issues to other packages depending on stock Debian libssh2 library (which happens to depend on libgcrypt) by replacing it with manually-built one. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Start ssh service on the target host. Usually medusa crashes on the first minute. The more threads, the faster the crash. | ||||
