hydra: Guess FTP credentials using usernames and passwords lists, specifying the number of threads.
$ hydra -L ${path-to-usernames-txt} -P ${path-to-wordlist-txt} -t ${n_tasks} ${host_ip} ${ftp}
try on your machine
This command is using the tool "hydra" to perform a brute force attack on an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server.
Let's breakdown the command:
hydra
: It is the name of the tool being executed.-L ${path-to-usernames-txt}
: This flag specifies the path to a text file containing a list of usernames that will be tried during the brute force attack.${path-to-usernames-txt}
should be replaced with the actual path to the file.-P ${path-to-wordlist-txt}
: This flag specifies the path to a text file containing a list of passwords that will be tried during the brute force attack.${path-to-wordlist-txt}
should be replaced with the actual path to the file.-t ${n_tasks}
: This flag specifies the number of parallel tasks or threads to be used by Hydra for the attack.${n_tasks}
should be replaced with the desired number of parallel tasks.${host_ip}
: This is the IP address or domain name of the target FTP server. It should be replaced with the actual IP address or domain name.${ftp}
: This tells Hydra that we are attacking an FTP server. This flag could be different depending on the target protocol. For example, if attacking a web form, it could be-S http-post-form
.
Overall, this command is instructing Hydra to use a list of usernames and a list of passwords to attempt a brute force attack on an FTP server located at the specified IP address or domain name.
