Write a program that first reads in the name of two input files; input1pass.txt and input1shadow.txt. These files will contain encrypted and non-encrypted passwords to simulate a Brute Force approach.

Description

Write a program that first reads in the name of two input files; input1pass.txt and input1shadow.txt. These files will contain encrypted and non-encrypted passwords to simulate a Brute Force approach. Next the program will accept input of two strings representing a potential user name, and password. The files should be read using the file.readlines( ) method.

Your program should output the attempted login and password with a message that it was a successful or unsuccessful brute force attempt.

Ex: If the input is:

input1pass.txt
input1shadow.txt
bobpickle
pa$$w0rd

and the contents of input1pass.txt are:

user1:x:15:51:User One:/home/user1:nologin
user2:x:16:52:User One:/home/user1:nologin
user3:x:17:53:User One:/home/user1:nologin

and the contents of the input1shadow.txt are:

user1:XXPP192920r:15045:0:99999:7:::
user1:LLmm928393x:15046:0:99999:7:::
user1:&^334294kksri.:15047:0:99999:7:::

the output is:

Brute Force Attempt:
Login:  user1
Password:  XXPP192920r
Unsuccessful brute force attempt

Brute Force Attempt:
Login:  user2
Password:  LLmm928393x
Unsuccessful brute force attempt

Brute Force Attempt:
Login:  user3
Password:  &^334294kksri.
Unsuccessful brute force attempt

Ex: If the input is:

input2pass.txt
input2shadow.txt
demo123
password

and the contents of input1pass.txt are:

user1:x:15:51:User One:/home/user1:nologin
user2:x:16:52:User One:/home/user1:nologin
user3:x:17:53:User One:/home/user1:nologin
demo123:x:18:54:Demo User:/home/demo123:nologin

and the contents of the input1shadow.txt are:

user1:XXPP192920r:15045:0:99999:7:::
user1:LLmm928393x:15046:0:99999:7:::
user1:&^334294kksri.:15047:0:99999:7:::
demo123:password:15048:0:99999:7:::

the output is:

Brute Force Attempt:
Login:  user1
Password:  XXPP192920r
Unsuccessful brute force attempt

Brute Force Attempt:
Login:  user2
Password:  LLmm928393x
Unsuccessful brute force attempt

Brute Force Attempt:
Login:  user3
Password:  &^334294kksri.
Unsuccessful brute force attempt

Brute Force Attempt:
Login: demo123
Password: password
Successful brute force attempt
