## What it is
x-crack is a command-line weak password (credential brute-force) scanner written in Go that tests common username/password combinations against network services. It supports FTP, SSH, SNMP, MSSQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, and MongoDB, and doubles as the example scanner from a Chinese white-hat security development tutorial.

## Use cases
- brute force weak passwords on network services
- scan servers for default or common credentials
- test ssh and database logins with a password list
- audit weak passwords across mysql postgres redis and mongodb
- check ftp snmp and elasticsearch endpoints for weak auth
- pentest tool to crack service logins over the network

## When to choose
- You need a small, fast Go CLI to test common credentials across many service types during an authorized penetration test or security audit
- You want readable source code to learn how credential brute-force scanners are implemented

## When to avoid
- You need a full-featured, actively supported scanner with reporting and broad protocol coverage - tools like Hydra, Medusa, or Nuclei fit better
- You require a licensed, production-grade auditing product - this is an educational example with no license file and limited maintenance
