Ncrack is a network authentication cracking tool. It is used to do bruteforce attacks on different protocols and is fairly straightforward to use.
You can use a prebuilt wordlist that comes with Kali Linux or can create your own custom list to accomplish the demonstration.
Mentioning Users and Password flags
-U = Users list
-P = Password list
-u = type "username"
-p = type "password"
IP Address = Target Server
Syntax#1: First of all, let’s check which services are running on the target computer
#nmap -V 192.168.11.104
Syntax#2: Try SSH Password from a wordlist
ncrack -vv -p 22 -U users.list -P ./passwords.txt "ssh server IP"
Syntax#3: Try SSH Password from a wordlist
ncrack -vv -p 22 --user root -P ./passwords.txt "ssh server IP"
