Automating Password Attacks with Hydra
Tool Authors: Van Hauser, Roland Kessler
Brute force tools automate the task of using cracked accounts against services. Hydra is a brute force attack program that takes a user list & password list and tries different combinations of them to attack server services. If we make a text file with the usernames and another with the passwords that we acquired above, we can feed them to a program like Hydra.
Create the following two text files (Users, Passwords) enter the values we recovered from the password file and save them in the Kali Home directory:
Users:
     msfadmin
     sys
     klog
     service
     postgres
     user
Passwords:
     msfadmin
     batman
     1234567898...
