Brute Force Websites & Online Forms Using Hydra in 2020

In this video, we'll use NINEVAH on Hack The Box as an example for brute-forcing a password on an online website. You can also use the BurpSuite Intruder functionality for this attack, but Hydra is typically much quicker unless you have a paid version of BurpSuite Pro.

Hey, theres a problem, for me, the request has a GET method and there is no request body, instead theres a "query string"

[@djkyte5400]

Thanks for the great explanation! But I have a queston: what if the request body has a ":" inside it. Hydra doesn't wanna look at the remainder of the header after the ":", because it thinks that's where the incorrect verbiage begins. Could you help me out here?

[@Only_Sleep]

The webpage I’m trying to test on doesn’t give me a failed login notice, what do I do then?

[@InfiniteLogins]

Check the raw response on the request and figure out what is different between success and fail. Use something like Burp Suite to do this if the browser dev tools aren't enough.

how can you setup a login page to practice

[@jamiemorales2022]

Hi I'm really inspired by your videos one question, will the website be notified when we crack into this site and or will they see unauthorized entry?

They will likely log your brute force attempts, yes! Make sure to only perform these attacks on resources you're authorized to do so.

It "could". There are lots of ways to mitigate bruteforce attacks, so most popular sites should have implemented mitigations that you'd have to overcome.

Too many unknowns. What type of hash algorithm was used? Are there uppercase/lowercase/numbers/symbols? What type of hardware do you have to crack with? Does the credential contain dictionary word(s)? I think it would be difficult to crack a 14 char hash with an average computer in 30 mins if complexity is being used without dictionary words.
