hey, yo I'm feeling like spraycharles - Chiddy Bang
Low and slow password spraying tool, designed to spray on an interval over a long period of time.
Includes spraying plugins for Office365, OWA, EWS, Okta, ADFS, Cisco SSL VPN, Citrix Netscaler, Sonciwall, NTLM over HTTP, and SMB.
Associated blog post by @sprocket_ed covering NTLM over HTTP, Exchange Web Services and Spraycharles.
Spraycharles is a relatively simple password sprayer, designed at a time when there weren't many publicly available tools enabling password spraying to be a non-manual process over the course of a penetration test. Maybe the best feature of Spraycharles is the ability to setup a long running spray using -a/--attempts and -i/--interval, and let it run over the couse of several days, while periodically checking on it. If you have a one-off service or something unique to spray, it's also very easy to template a new module and start spraying.
Spraycharles was not initially designed with modern authentication/cloud providers in mind. If you're looking for more advanced features, you may want to check out tools such as CredMaster or TeamFiltration Spraycharles was not designed to be fast - it is single threaded and geared towards more of a volume/time approach.
Spraycharles can be installed with pip3 install spraycharles or by cloning this repository and running pip3 install .
Tip
This will register the spraycharles, and sc for short, aliases in your path. Log and output files are stored in ~/.spraycharles. An alternative output location can be specified with a CLI flag.
Execute the following commands to build the Spraycharles Docker container:
git clone https://github.com/Tw1sm/spraycharles
cd spraycharles/extras
docker build . -t spraycharlesExecute the following command to use the Spraycharles Docker container:
docker run -it -v ~/.spraycharles:/root/.spraycharles spraycharles -hYou may need to specify additional volumes based on where username a password lists are being stored.

Due to the amount of CLI flags often used, an alternative is to populate command line parameters from a yaml file using the --config flag. Additionally, each time you use Spraycharles, your CLI options will be written to a yaml file (last-config.yaml) in the current directory for easy modification and reuse.
Spraycharles has the ability to issue notifications to Discord, Slack and Microsoft Teams following a potentially successful login attempt. This list of notification providers can augmented using the utils/notify.py script. For any of the potential notification agents, you must specify its name and a webhook URL.
You can specify these using the configuration file to keep your command shorter:
notify: Slack
webhook: https://hooks.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXNotifications sent to any of the providers will include the targeted hostname associated with the spraying job. This is expecially useful when spraying multiple targets at once.
You have the ability to make changes to the provided username and password files while the spray is in progress. Additions or removals to the lists will take effect on the next password rotation
Note
If you insert a new password into the list, it must be after the password being currently sprayed, in order to be sprayed (Spraycharles keeps an internal loop counter used as an index to pull the next password at the corresponding place in the updated list)
Spraycharles is packaged with some additional utilities to assist with spraying efforts. Full list of Spraycharles modules:

The Spraycharles "gen" subcommand will generate a password list based off the specifications provided in extras/list_elements.json
spraycharles gen extras/list_elements.json custom_passwords.txtThe Spraycharles parse subcommand will extract the internal domain from both NTLM over HTTP and SMB services using a command similar to the one listed below.
spraycharles parse https://example.com/ews
spraycharles parse smb://host.domain.localThe analyze submodule can read your output JSON objects and determine response lengths that are statistically relevant. With enough data, it should be able to pull successful logins out of your results file. This is not the only way to determine successful logins, depending on your target site, and I would still recommend checking the data yourself to be sure nothing is missed. For SMB, it will simply find entries with NTSTATUS codes that indicate success.
