Hydra is a fast login cracker that supports a lot of protocols. It is a command line tool, but a GUI is available. The FTP (File Transfer protocol) is used to remotely access files either on a home server or a web server hosted on a web hosting provider. The cracking speed is low but with a weak password and a good wordlist it is possible to be cracked. Most attackers will try to crack a password only if there is no other way in(e.g using an exploit or social engineering).Sunday, November 30, 2014
