THC-HYDRA-windows Description. The THC-HYDRA tool compiled for Windows. Latest 9.1 version (2020-07-29); Compiled for x64 only from version 9.1, older releases were compiled for x86 so they should work on x86 and x64 platforms. Hydra-gtk architectures: aarch64, amd64, arm64, armh, armhf, i386, i586, x8664 hydra-gtk linux packages: deb, rpm ©2009-2020 - Packages Search for Linux and Unix.
When you need to brute force crack a remote authentication service, Hydra is often the tool of choice. It can perform rapid dictionary attacks against more than 50 protocols, including telnet, ftp, http, https, smb, several databases, and much more. Like THC Amap this release is from the fine folks at THC. Other online crackers are Medusa and Ncrack. The Nmap Security Scanner also contains many online brute force password cracking modules.For downloads and more information,visit the THC Hydra homepage.

Options of Hydra Supported protocols
cisco
Module cisco is optionally taking the keyword ENTER, it then sends an initial ENTER when connecting to the service.
cisco-enable
Module cisco-enable is optionally taking the logon password for the cisco device
Note: if AAA authentication is used, use the -l option for the username and the optional parameter for the password of the user.
Hydra Gtk Windows 10
Examples:
cvs
Module cvs is optionally taking the repository name to attack, default is '/root'
firebird
Module firebird is optionally taking the database path to attack, default is 'C:Program FilesFirebirdFirebird_1_5security.fdb'
http-get, https-get, http-post, https-post
Module http-get requires the page to authenticate.
For example: '/secret' or 'http://bla.com/foo/bar' or 'https://test.com:8080/members'
http-get-form, https-get-form, http-post-form, https-post-form
Module http-get-form requires the page and the parameters for the web form.
By default this module is configured to follow a maximum of 5 redirections in a row. It always gathers a new cookie from the same URL without variables The parameters take three ':' separated values, plus optional values.
(Note: if you need a colon in the option string as value, escape it with ':', but do not escape a ' with '.)
Syntax:
- First is the page on the server to GET or POST to (URL).
- Second is the POST/GET variables (taken from either the browser, proxy, etc. with usernames and passwords being replaced in the '^USER^' and '^PASS^' placeholders (FORM PARAMETERS)
- Third is the string that it checks for an *invalid* login (by default). Invalid condition login check can be preceded by 'F=', successful condition login check must be preceded by 'S='. This is where most people get it wrong. You have to check the webapp what a failed string looks like and put it in this parameter!
The following parameters are optional:
C=/page/uri
to define a different page to gather initial cookies from
(h|H)=My-Hdr: foo
to send a user defined HTTP header with each request
^USER^ and ^PASS^ can also be put into these headers!
Note: 'h' will add the user-defined header at the end regardless it's already being sent by Hydra or not.
'H' will replace the value of that header if it exists, by the one supplied by the user, or add the header at the end.
Note that if you are going to put colons (:) in your headers you should escape them with a backslash (). All colons that are not option separators should be escaped (see the examples above and below).
You can specify a header without escaping the colons, but that way you will not be able to put colons in the header value itself, as they will be interpreted by hydra as option separators.
Examples:
http-proxy
Module http-proxy is optionally taking the page to authenticate at.
Default is http://www.microsoft.com/)
Basic, DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM are supported and negotiated automatically.
http-proxy-urlenum
Module http-proxy-urlenum only uses the -L option, not -x or -p/-P option. The -L loginfile must contain the URL list to try through the proxy. The proxy credentials cann be put as the optional parameter, e.g.
imap, imaps
Module imap is optionally taking one authentication type of: CLEAR or APOP (default), LOGIN, PLAIN, CRAM-MD5, CRAM-SHA1, CRAM-SHA256, DIGEST-MD5, NTLM
Additionally TLS encryption via STARTTLS can be enforced with the TLS option.
Example: imap://target/TLS:PLAIN
irc
Module irc is optionally taking the general server password, if the server is requiring one and none is passed the password from -p/-P will be used
ldap2, ldap2s, ldap3, ldap3s, ldap3-crammd5, ldap3-crammd5s, ldap3-digestmd5, ldap3-digestmd5s
Module ldap2 is optionally taking the DN (depending of the auth method choosed
Note: you can also specify the DN as login when Simple auth method is used).
The keyword '^USER^' is replaced with the login.
Special notes for Simple method has 3 operation modes: anonymous, (no user no pass), unauthenticated (user but no pass), user/pass authenticated (user and pass).
So don't forget to set empty string as user/pass to test all modes.
Hint: to authenticate to a windows active directy ldap, this is usually cn=^USER^,cn=users,dc=foo,dc=bar,dc=com for domain foo.bar.com
mysql
Module mysql is optionally taking the database to attack, default is 'mysql'
Hydra Gui Windows Command
nntp
Module nntp is optionally taking one authentication type of: USER (default), LOGIN, PLAIN, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, NTLM
oracle-listener
Module oracle-listener / tns is optionally taking the mode the password is stored as, could be PLAIN (default) or CLEAR
pop3, pop3s
Module pop3 is optionally taking one authentication type of: CLEAR (default), LOGIN, PLAIN, CRAM-MD5, CRAM-SHA1, CRAM-SHA256, DIGEST-MD5, NTLM.
Additionally TLS encryption via STLS can be enforced with the TLS option.
Example: pop3://target/TLS:PLAIN
postgres
Module postgres is optionally taking the database to attack, default is 'template1'
rdp
Module rdp is optionally taking the windows domain name.
For example:
s7-300
Module S7-300 is for a special Siemens PLC. It either requires only a password or no authentication, so just use the -p or -P option.
smb
Module smb default value is set to test both local and domain account, using a simple password with NTLM dialect.
Note: you can set the group type using LOCAL or DOMAIN keyword or other_domain:{value} to specify a trusted domain.
Hydra Gui For Windows
You can set the password type using HASH or MACHINE keyword (to use the Machine's NetBIOS name as the password).
You can set the dialect using NTLMV2, NTLM, LMV2, LM keyword.
Example:
smtp, smtps
Module smtp is optionally taking one authentication type of: LOGIN (default), PLAIN, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, NTLM
Additionally TLS encryption via STARTTLS can be enforced with the TLS option.
Hydra Download Windows
Example: smtp://target/TLS:PLAIN
smtp-enum
Module smtp-enum is optionally taking one SMTP command of: VRFY (default), EXPN, RCPT (which will connect using 'root' account) login parameter is used as username and password parameter as the domain name
For example to test if john@localhost exists on 192.168.0.1:
snmp
Module snmp is optionally taking the following parameters:
To combine the options, use colons (':'), e.g.:
sshkey
Module sshkey does not provide additional options, although the semantic for options -p and -P is changed:
- -p expects a path to an unencrypted private key in PEM format.
- -P expects a filename containing a list of path to some unencrypted private keys in PEM format.
svn
Module svn is optionally taking the repository name to attack, default is 'trunk'
telnet, telnets
Module telnet is optionally taking the string which is displayed after a successful login (case insensitive), use if the default in the telnet module produces too many false positives
xmpp
Module xmpp is optionally taking one authentication type of: LOGIN (default), PLAIN, CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, SCRAM-SHA1
Note, the target passed should be a fdqn as the value is used in the Jabber init request, example: hermes.jabber.org

xHydra (GUI for THC-Hydra)
xhydra is Gtk+2 frontend for thc-hydra.
To start xHydra GUI issue:
Tools included in the hydra package
- hydra – Very fast network logon cracker
- pw-inspector – Reads passwords in and prints those which meet the requirements
Help pw-inspector
PW-Inspector reads passwords in and prints those which meet the requirements. The return code is the number of valid passwords found, 0 if none was found. Use for security: check passwords, if 0 is returned, reject password choice.
Use for hacking: trim your dictionary file to the pw requirements of the target.
