Im on root, running Kali 2.0 on Debian-64, Every time I try to test out an insatgram Brute forcer (.py script) I get the error: Permission Denied
root@kali:~# cd Desktop
root@kali:~/Desktop# ls
armitage DVWA-1.0.8 fb-bruter.pl password.txt
ddos-script-master facebook.py instaBrute-master
root@kali:~/Desktop# cd instaBrute-master
root@kali:~/Desktop/instaBrute-master# ls
dictionary.txt instaBrute.py LICENSE mainLib.py README.md usernames.txt
root@kali:~/Desktop/instaBrute-master# ./instaBrute.py
bash: ./instaBrute.py: Permission denied
root@kali:~/Desktop/instaBrute-master#
Im pretty sure im not doing naything wrong and that im on root. Help would be greatly appreciated :D

Did you try this?
chmod 777 InstaBrute.py
You can run the script with python instaBrute.py. When you try to execute with ./ the file must have permission to execute. To change the permissions you can use chmod +x instaBrute.py
If you're going to run it like ./Instabrute , then aswell as chmoding it you might need to make sure the script has a shebang line at the top.
Ex: #!/usr/bin/env python
So you can run it without typing python first
I'll try thanks guys, and apparently not, Instagram has a vulnerability where it doesn't lock you out from what I heard from NO WEB, all credits to him for finding this !
Once I enter "Python instabrute.py" says you have to set an username or user file?
I already have them set...
You can use python instaBrute.py -u <instagram_account> -d <dictionary>
The -u option is for setting a specific username, the -d is for the password file you want to use.
It worked!!! Thanks just got messed up with the command
You're welcome!
Instagram, just saying, given your users, step up your sec factor.
Right? Pretty ridiculous.

yep lol and they probably have the same facebook passwords, and if your using CUPP than... your probably gonna get their info in like couple hours
Um I rether you chmod 744 it since the world doesn't need execute permissions
my kali linux is showing the authentication failure after entering the right details now what can i do to access this
