## Historique du projet et usages

Ncrack is the Nmap project's standalone network-authentication cracking tool. It was built for high-speed, parallel credential testing across many network services, with Nmap-like command-line syntax, timing controls, runtime interaction, and a modular protocol architecture.

### Historique du projet

The official Ncrack page says it began as a Google Summer of Code project in 2009. The man page describes it as a Summer 2009 project and beta-quality software, while a September 10, 2010 nmap-dev announcement calls Ncrack 0.3ALPHA a post-SoC release and highlights new SMB and RDP modules.

### Historique d'adoption

Ncrack's adoption came from the Nmap ecosystem and password-auditing niche: security professionals used it to test large networks for weak or default passwords. The official page later added a deprecation notice saying Ncrack is useful for some purposes but not fully developed or maintained, and that Nmap's focus shifted to brute-force scripts in NSE.

### Modes d'utilisation

Package users run ncrack against authorized targets with service-qualified host specs, username and password lists, timing templates, and per-service options. It can consume Nmap target output formats, report discovered credentials, and test modules such as SSH, RDP, FTP, Telnet, HTTP(S), SMB, VNC, databases, and other network protocols.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

Ncrack is significant less because it became the dominant password-auditing tool and more because it shows how the Nmap community tried to split credential testing into a specialized engine. The later deprecation notice is part of the package story: keeping it available helps reproduce old workflows, but users should notice that active Nmap credential work moved elsewhere.

### Chronologie

- Summer 2009: Ncrack starts as a Google Summer of Code project.
- September 10, 2010: Ncrack 0.3ALPHA announced with SMB and RDP modules.
- 2019: Official page identifies 0.7 as the latest release and says main focus shifted to Nmap NSE brute-force scripts.
