A python script for multi-threaded dictionary attacks on Instagram accounts, with support for tor.

Tor is used for changing public IP address, to avoid TOO_MANY_REQUESTS errors. Using it is heavily recommended, although it's not necessary to have tor installed on you system, in order to run instabruter.

For more information about tor, visit Tor website

Very simple.You don't need any installation. Just clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/mans82/instabruter

Then go to the instabruter folder (where the repository is cloned), and run main.py.

Most likely, no. But if you face an error like this:

File "attacker.py", line 1, in <module>
    import requests
ImportError: No module named requests

You need to install requests python library:

pip install requests

Here are some examples:

• Start an attack, using a username and a passlist:

  python main.py username passlist.txt
  

• Start an attack, using an arbitary number of threads (e.g. 32):

  python main.py username passlist.txt -t 32
  

  or

  python main.py username passlist.txt --threads=32
  

• Save the attack status, so that you can resume the attack later: (Scan status will be saved in myscan file.)

  python main.py username passlist.txt -o myscan
  

  Or use the long option, --output, instead of -o.

• Now to resume the attack:
  (long option is --continue)

  python main.py -c myscan
  

• Resume an attack, but use 30 threads instead:
  (Note that this will be saved to myscan)

  python main.py -c myscan -t 30
  

• Provide another config file, rather than instabruter.conf:
  (There is no short option, sry :( )

  python main.py username passlist.txt --config myconfig.conf
  

It is the configuration file of instabruter. Any configuration that is not mentioned in runtime arguments or saved attack file will be read from this file. For example if you have this line in instabruter.conf:

Threads 20

And run:

python main.py username passlist.txt

, instabruter will use 20 thread for the attack, as defined in the config file.
Note that command-line arguments will override these configurations.
