DESCRIPTION

       Hydra  is  a  parallized  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 possiblity to show  how  easy  it
       would be to gain unauthorized access from remote to a system.

       Currently this tool supports:
        AFP, Cisco AAA, Cisco auth, Cisco enable, CVS, Firebird, FTP, FTPS,
        HTTP-FORM-GET, HTTP-FORM-POST, HTTP-GET, HTTP-HEAD, HTTP-PROXY,
        HTTP-PROXY-URLENUM, ICQ, IMAP, IRC, LDAP2, LDAP3, MS-SQL, MYSQL, NCP, NNTP,
        Oracle, Oracle-Listener, Oracle-SID, PC-Anywhere, PCNFS, POP3, POSTGRES,
        RDP, REXEC, RLOGIN, RSH, SAP/R3, SIP, SMB, SMTP, SMTP-Enum, SNMP,
        SOCKS5, SSH(v1 and v2), SSHKEY, Subversion, Teamspeak (TS2), Telnet,
        VMware-Auth, VNC and XMPP.
        For most protocols, SSL mode is available (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. No
              other options are allowed when using -R

       -S     connect via SSL

       -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.

       -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

       -t TASKS
              run TASKS number of connects in parallel (default: 16)

       -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

       -4 / -6
              prefer IPv4 (default) or IPv6 addresses

       -v / -V
              verbose mode / show login+pass combination for each attempt -d debug mode

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.
