[SOLVED] How to use Hydra on Kali Linux?

Mike9876 · 02-08-2018, 11:37 PM

Hello, I have Kali Linux 64-bit on VMware and Windows 10 Host. I am trying to crack my work email password with Hydra. I need to know, what is the command line I need to enter to crack my email? Not ftp? Should I use pop3? I know "hydra -L xxx -P xxx" but I don't know what's next. Everything I read is for ftp and I don't think that will work. So, I need to know how do I enter my work email server "ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM" and how do I find the ports? Nmap? ftp etc...? This might be an easy question but I'm just getting started and could use the help. Thanks!

I don't think we can help you given the above.

if you want to test hacking you must do it on your own lan, i tested hydra against my own router. (192.168.10.1)

i dont know where you work but hacking work email is a _very_ bad idea.
