Rapids is a credential spraying tool designed for authorized security assessments. The following behaviors are features, not bugs:
- Credential spraying across 28 protocols simultaneously
- Automatic port scanning and service discovery via nmap
- Pass-the-hash authentication (SMB, RDP, MSSQL, LDAP, Kerberos, WinRM)
- Adaptive endpoint skipping based on timeout tracking
- Proof-of-access command execution after successful authentication
- NetExec module integration for extended protocol support
- Credential file parsing with mixed passwords and NT hashes
These capabilities exist by design for legitimate security testing. Reports that simply describe Rapids working as intended will be closed.
Rapids is intended for authorized penetration testing, security research, and educational purposes only. Users are responsible for ensuring they have proper authorization before using this tool against any systems.
