In this recipe we will see how we to gain access to Cisco devices, we will be using tools available in Kali. We will be using a tool called as CAT to perform the activity. CAT stands for Cisco audit tool. It is a Perl script which scans Cisco for common vulnerabilities.
For this exercise we have setup a device with a password to demonstrate the activity. We do not require any external tools as everything is available in Kali itself.

192.168.1.88
. As mentioned we will useCAT
:
- We have used a custom wordlist for username and password, which contain the following details:
- Once you are on the Metasploit console, enter the following commands:
CAT -h 192.168.1.88 -w /root/Desktop/cisco_users -a
/root/Desktop/cisco_pass
The output will be as shown in the following screenshot:
- As you can see, it the service to check for credentials and fetches with the valid password if it...
