Puwr - SSH Pivoting Script For Expanding Attack Surfaces On Local Networks

Easily expand your attack surface on a local network by discovering more hosts, via SSH.

Using a machine running a SSH service, Puwr uses a given subnet range to scope out IP's, sending back any successful ping requests it has. This can be used to expand out an attack surface on a local network, by forwarding you hosts you couldn't normally reach from your own device.

(example below of how Puwr handles requests)

Puwr is simple to run, only requiring 4 flags:
python3 puwr.py (MACHINE IP) (USER) (PASSWORD) (SUBNET VALUE)

example:
python3 puwr.py 10.0.0.53 xeonrx password123 10.0.0.1/24

If you need to connect through a port other than 22, use the -p flag. (example: -p 2222)
If you want to keep quiet, use the -s flag to wait specified seconds between request. (example: -s 5)
Use the -h flag for usage reference in the script.

The paramiko and netaddr modules are required for this script to work!
You can install them with the pip tool:
pip install netaddr paramiko

Note this script is purley just a small enumeration script, and does not directly attack any found devices on the network. Wether you decide to remain persistence on the machine and use it to attack other devices from it, is your choice.

I encourage you carry out these techniques with permission, and stay in the legal bound of things. Cyber attacks are highly illegal, and no one but you is responsible for any crime.
