FortiBleed is a large-scale credential compromise campaign targeting internet-facing Fortinet FortiGate firewalls and SSL VPN gateways globally. The operation employs a sophisticated credential pipeline utilizing credential stuffing, password spraying, configuration harvesting, offline cracking, and post-authentication capture processing. Reverse engineering of the CyberStrike Harvester v1.5 binary revealed a comprehensive workflow converting FortiGate access into multi-protocol credential extraction, hash cracking via Hashcat/Hashtopolis GPU clusters, VPN-bound Active Directory and SMB access, and file-share exfiltration. The campaign affected devices across 194 countries and uses a seven-VM Kali lab infrastructure with automated tooling including FortiGate Sniffer panels, Telegram-orchestrated cracking bots, and Python/Impacket-based lateral movement tools. One documented exfiltration operation collected 121.43 GB from internal file shares. The operation appears to function as initia...
