Summary
BashSpray is a password spray tool (a script that tests many accounts with common weak passwords to find security gaps) that red teams (security professionals hired to test defenses) can use to identify weak passwords in their organization. The tool works on both Mac and Windows systems, and ideally should be integrated into security response workflows so that affected users and security teams are notified to change passwords and investigate if needed.
