# The security/hydra port

## hydra-8.6 – parallelized network logon cracker

## Description

    Hydra is a multi-protocol, parallelized authentication brute forcer.

    By assigning many parallel tasks, remote login brute forcing can be
    accelerated SIGNIFICANTLY, however it depends on the protocol. The
    fastest is generally POP3, then FTP, then Telnet, and the least IMAP.

    Experiment with the task option (-t) to speed things up. The higher, the
    faster (but too high, and it disables the service). To prevent disabling
    you can now use the -g option for "slow-starts".

    Currently this tool supports:
    TELNET, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, HTTP-PROXY, LDAP, SMB, SMBNT, MS-SQL, MYSQL,
    REXEC, SOCKS5, VNC, POP3, IMAP, NNTP, PCNFS, ICQ, SAP/R3, Cisco auth,
    Cisco enable, Cisco AAA.

    Flavors:
            * no_x11 - do not build GTK frontend.
