First and foremost, let us define the Bruteforce attack. Hackers perform brute force attacks to gain unauthorised access to a computer system or account by guessing a password.
It entails attempting every possible character combination until the right password is discovered. This approach is time-consuming and resource-intensive, yet it is effective against weak or poorly protected passwords.
To protect against brute force attacks, it is recommended to use strong passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and implement other security measures such as rate limitation and account lockout procedures.
Instagram had two different vulnerabilities that allowed an attacker to brute-force user account credentials. When combined with user count, a weak password policy, and no 2FA or other mitigating security protections, this might have allowed an attacker to compromise many accounts, including high-profile ones, without user engagement.
A programme called Bruteinsta for this Bruteforce assault against Instagram. This tool contains 43k distinct passwords, and you may create a new password list and brute-force Insta using this tool if you like.
Bruteinsta installation and usage instructions:
apt-get install tor
git clone:https://github.com/iamwithyou11/Bruteinsta
tor (run this tor service in another terminal)
chmod +x insta.sh
enter username and add the password list
Please keep in mind that this tool only works for accounts that do not have 2FA.
