Education: How to brute force and crack FTP users and passwords with Hydra? Ethical Hacking

DISCLAIMER: This video is for EDUCATIONAL purposes only! Do NOT copy it in real life! Hacking is ILLEGAL and it can be punished by JAIL! The acts in this video happened in a controlled LAB environment!

In this video we don’t know any user name or password for the FTP service. We use another function of Hydra to provide two input files. One file contains the possible user names, the other contains the possible passwords. Hydra will try every combination/permutation of the two files to crack the user and the password.

In real Penetration Testing these files can be huge, thus the time for cracking is quite long. It can took hours or days to go through each permutations.

Important note: hacking in the wild is illegal! Do NOT do it out of the lab, unless you are a penetration tester with a signed contract!
