DESCRIPTION

   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.

Options

   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.
