Hi, today I tried hydra in a virtualbox Kali 2 VM. I set up a target (Kali 2 on a Raspi) and started sshd there. Logging in manually worked. Then I created a password list with john the ripper's rules and stripped it a bit with pw-inspect (to pws with at least 8 chars). Now I took one of these passwords and set it for a ssh user on the target machine. Now I tried hydra and strangely it said it didn't find the password. Then I reduced the list to 30 passwords, including the right one. Now it worked.
I checked with stack overflow and someone told me to install all the dependencies for hydra:
Code:
libssl-dev libssh-dev libidn11-dev libpcre3-dev libgtk2.0-dev libmysqlclient-dev libpq-dev libsvn-dev firebird2.1-dev libncp-dev libncurses5-dev
Many of them were missing, but I could install them, except libncp-dev.
My questions:
- Can someone tell me if I am making a mistake here in terms of usage?
- If the missing package/lib is indeed a problem, how to I get libncp-dev in Kali 2? Any rep I could add?
Thanks a lot and best regards
