Hydra is a parallelized login cracker which supports numerous
protocols to attack. New modules are easy to add, beside that, it is
flexible and very fast.
This tool gives researchers and security consultants the
possibility to show how easy it would be to gain unauthorized access from
remote to a system.
- Currently this tool
supports:
- adam6500 afp asterisk cisco cisco-enable cvs firebird ftp ftps
http[s]-{head|get|post} http[s]-{get|post}-form http-proxy
http-proxy-urlenum icq imap[s] irc ldap2[s] ldap3[-{cram|digest}md5][s]
mssql mysql(v4) mysql5 ncp nntp oracle oracle-listener oracle-sid
pcanywhere pcnfs pop3[s] postgres rdp radmin2 redis rexec rlogin rpcap rsh
rtsp s7-300 sapr3 sip smb smtp[s] smtp-enum snmp socks5 ssh sshkey svn
teamspeak telnet[s] vmauthd vnc xmpp
For most protocols SSL is supported (e.g. https-get, ftp-ssl,
etc.). If not all necessary libraries are found during compile time, your
available services will be less. Type "hydra" to see what is
available.
- target
- a target to attack, can be an IPv4 address, IPv6 address or DNS name.
- service
- a service to attack, see the list of protocols available
- OPTIONAL SERVICE
PARAMETER
- Some modules have optional or mandatory options. type "hydra -U
<servicename>"
to get help on on the options of a service.
- -R
- restore a previously aborted session. Requires a hydra.restore file was
written. Options are restored, but can be changed by setting them after -R
on the command line
- -S
- connect via SSL
- -O
- use old SSL v2 and v3
- -s PORT
- if the service is on a different default port, define it here
- -l LOGIN
- or -L FILE login with LOGIN name, or load several logins from FILE
- -p PASS
- or -P FILE try password PASS, or load several passwords from FILE
- -x min:max:charset
- generate passwords from min to max length. charset can contain 1
for numbers, a for lowcase and A for upcase characters.
Any other character is added is put to the list.
Example: 1:2:a1%.
The generated passwords will be of length 1 to 2 and contain
lowcase letters, numbers and/or percent signs and dots.
- -y
- disable use of symbols in -x bruteforce, see above
- -e nsr
- additional checks, "n" for null password, "s" try
login as pass, "r" try the reverse login as pass
- -C FILE
- colon separated "login:pass" format, instead of -L/-P
options
- -u
- by default Hydra checks all passwords for one login and then tries the
next login. This option loops around the passwords, so the first password
is tried on all logins, then the next password.
- -f
- exit after the first found login/password pair (per host if -M)
- -F
- exit after the first found login/password pair for any host (for usage
with -M)
- -M FILE
- server list for parallel attacks, one entry per line
- -o FILE
- write found login/password pairs to FILE instead of stdout
- -b FORMAT
- specify the format for the -o FILE: text(default), json, jsonv1
- -t TASKS
- run TASKS number of connects in parallel (default: 16)
- -m OPTIONS
- module specific options. See hydra -U <module> what options are
available.
- -w TIME
- defines the max wait time in seconds for responses (default: 32)
- -W TIME
- defines a wait time between each connection a task performs. This usually
only makes sense if a low task number is used, .e.g -t 1
- -c TIME
- the wait time in seconds per login attempt over all threads (-t 1 is
recommended) This usually only makes sense if a low task number is used,
.e.g -t 1
- -4 / -6
- prefer IPv4 (default) or IPv6 addresses
- -v / -V
- verbose mode / show login+pass combination for each attempt
- -d
- debug mode
- -I
- ignore an existing restore file (don't wait 10 seconds)
- -h, --help
- Show summary of options.
