NAME
       hydra  - a very fast network logon cracker which support many different
       services

SYNOPSIS
       hydra
	[[[-l LOGIN|-L FILE] [-p PASS|-P FILE|-x OPT -y]] | [-C FILE]]
	[-e nsr] [-u] [-f|-F] [-M FILE] [-o FILE] [-b FORMAT]
	[-t TASKS] [-T TASKS] [-w TIME] [-W TIME] [-m OPTIONS] [-s PORT]
	[-c TIME] [-S] [-O] [-4|6] [-I] [-vV] [-d]
	server service [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
       Hydra is a parallelized 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 possibility to
       show  how easy it would be to gain unauthorized access from remote to a
       system.

       Currently this tool supports:
	adam6500 afp asterisk cisco cisco-enable cvs firebird ftp ftps
	http[s]-{head|get|post} http[s]-{get|post}-form http-proxy
	http-proxy-urlenum icq imap[s] irc ldap2[s]
	ldap3[-{cram|digest}md5][s] mssql mysql(v4) mysql5 ncp nntp
	oracle oracle-listener oracle-sid pcanywhere pcnfs pop3[s]
	postgres rdp redis rexec rlogin rpcap rsh rtsp s7-300 sapr3 sip
	smb smtp[s] smtp-enum snmp socks5 ssh sshkey svn teamspeak telnet[s]
	vmauthd vnc xmpp

	For most protocols SSL is supported (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.  Options are restored, but can be changed by
	      setting them after -R on the command line

       -S     connect via SSL

       -O     use old SSL v2 and v3

       -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.

       -y     disable use of symbols in -x bruteforce, see above

       -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 std‐
	      out

       -b FORMAT
	      specify the format for the -o FILE: text(default),  json,
	      jsonv1

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

       -m OPTIONS
	      module  specific	options.  See  hydra  -U  <module> what
	      options are available.

       -w TIME
	      defines the  max	wait  time  in	seconds	 for  responses
	      (default: 32)

       -W TIME
	      defines  a  wait time between each connection a task per‐
	      forms. This usually only makes sense if a low task number
	      is used, .e.g -t 1

       -c TIME
	      the  wait	 time  in  seconds  per	 login attempt over all
	      threads (-t 1 is recommended)  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

       -I     ignore an existing restore file (don't wait 10 seconds)

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.
