INTRODUCTION
------------
Number one of the biggest security holes are passwords, as every password
security study shows.
This tool is a proof-of-concept code to give researchers and security
consultants the possibility of showing how easy it would be to gain unauthorized
access from a remote to a system.

THIS TOOL IS FOR LEGAL PURPOSES ONLY!

There are already several login hacker tools available; however, none of them
support more than one protocol to attack or support parallelized
connects.

It was tested to compile cleanly on Linux, Windows/Cygwin, Solaris,
FreeBSD/OpenBSD, QNX (Blackberry 10), and MacOS.

Currently, this tool supports the following protocols:
 Asterisk, AFP, Cisco AAA, Cisco auth, Cisco enable, CVS, Firebird, FTP,
 HTTP-FORM-GET, HTTP-FORM-POST, HTTP-GET, HTTP-HEAD, HTTP-POST, HTTP-PROXY,
 HTTPS-FORM-GET, HTTPS-FORM-POST, HTTPS-GET, HTTPS-HEAD, HTTPS-POST,
 HTTP-Proxy, ICQ, IMAP, IRC, LDAP, MEMCACHED, MONGODB, MS-SQL, MYSQL, NCP, NNTP, Oracle Listener,
 Oracle SID, Oracle, PC-Anywhere, PCNFS, POP3, POSTGRES, Radmin, RDP, Rexec, Rlogin,
 Rsh, RTSP, SAP/R3, SIP, SMB, SMTP, SMTP Enum, SNMP v1+v2+v3, SOCKS5,
 SSH (v1 and v2), SSHKEY, Subversion, Teamspeak (TS2), Telnet, VMware-Auth,
 VNC and XMPP.

However, the module engine for new services is very easy, so it won't take a
long time until even more services are supported.
Your help in writing, enhancing, or fixing modules is highly appreciated!! :-)



WHERE TO GET
------------
You can always find the newest release/production version of Hydra at its
project page at https://github.com/vanhauser-thc/thc-hydra/releases
If you are interested in the current development state, the public development
repository is on GitHub:
  svn co https://github.com/vanhauser-thc/thc-hydra
 or
  git clone https://github.com/vanhauser-thc/thc-hydra
Use the development version at your own risk. It contains new features and
new bugs. Things might not work!

Alternatively (and easier), you can pull it as a Docker container:
```
docker pull vanhauser/hydra
```
