Zombie
Zombie is the weak credential checking tool in aiscan.
Capabilities:
- test supported network services for weak credentials when authorized
- report service URI, protocol, host, port, module, username, password, and authentication result
- distinguish successful credentials, failed attempts, connection errors, lockouts, and unsupported services
- expose retry, timeout, and module-specific messages
Common usage:
zombie -i 192.168.1.1:3306 -s mysql --concurrency 8
zombie -i 192.168.1.1:22 -s ssh -u root -p admin123,123456,root --concurrency 8
zombie -i 192.168.1.1:6379 -s redis --concurrency 8
zombie -i 192.168.1.1:15672 -s rabbitmq --concurrency 8
zombie -I targets.txt -s ssh --top 10 --concurrency 8
zombie -i 192.168.1.1:8080 -s tomcat -u admin,tomcat -p admin,tomcat,s3cret --concurrency 8
zombie -i 192.168.1.1:23 -s telnet -u admin -p admin --concurrency 8
Key flags:
-i: target ip:port (can repeat: -i host1:3306 -i host2:3306). Also accepts ssh://user@host:22 URL format.
-s: service name — required when target has no scheme prefix. Services: ssh, mysql, redis, ftp, rdp, smb, tomcat, nacos, minio, rabbitmq, etc.
-u: username(s), comma-separated or repeated.
-p, --pwd: password(s), comma-separated or repeated. Prefer -p. Do not use --password; upstream zombie does not define it.
-I: target file (uppercase I, one ip:port per line).
--top N: use top N common passwords from built-in dictionary.
--concurrency N: max concurrent connections per host. Use --concurrency 8 by default, especially for Telnet/Comware-style devices.
-t: global thread count (default 100). Not target — use -i for target. Do not use -t as the default per-host concurrency limiter when --concurrency is available.
-c: CIDR input. Not concurrency; do not emit -c 8.
-l: list supported services and exit (not a file flag!).
Common mistakes:
zombie -t 10.0.0.1 -p 3306 -s mysql
zombie -l targets.txt -s ssh
zombie -i 10.0.0.1:3306
zombie -i 10.0.0.1:23 -s telnet --password admin
zombie -i 10.0.0.1:23 -s telnet -p admin -c 8
zombie -i 10.0.0.1:3306 -s mysql --concurrency 8
zombie -I targets.txt -s ssh --concurrency 8
zombie -i 10.0.0.1:3306 -s mysql -t 50 --concurrency 8
zombie -i 10.0.0.1:23 -s telnet -p admin --concurrency 8
