# bruteforce_su

[`bruteforce_su`] is a tool that attempts to brute-force user authentication via `su` using a provided password dictionary. It automates password guessing by simulating user input and monitoring process behavior.

> [!CAUTION]

> This tool is strictly for educational and research purposes.

> Unauthorized use of brute-force tools is illegal and unethical.

## Features

- **Automated brute-force**: Tries passwords from a dictionary file.

- **Process monitoring**: Ensures execution control through timeout.

- **Safe execution**: Handles errors in process management and I/O.

- **Customizable timeout**: Allows specifying a timeout for login attempts.

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

To build [`bruteforce_su`], you need:

- A C compiler that supports [C17] or later.

- A POSIX-compliant system (Linux, macOS, BSD).

- Root privileges for `su` access testing.

### Installing

Clone the repository and compile the program:

```sh

$ git clone https://github.com/your-repo/bruteforce_su.git

$ cd bruteforce_su

$ make
