telnet password with hydra

im using backtrack 4 final

im able to telnet to my router and i can access using my username and password

im trying with hytraGTK if it does find my password

the password list im using is /pentest/passwords/jtr/password.lst with number of tasks of 128

it didnot find the password, so i thought the password im using is not in the password.lst

so i added the password as the 3rd password in password.lst

still it didnot find the password

but i can see it doest [ATTEMPT] with correct password

but in 23[Telnet] i cant see its tryin with correct password, and then it ends


then i created test.lst with one password, and hydra does show the password

why hydra doesnt detect the password in password.lst?

Post the syntax you are using in hydra and the make of your router.

what do you mean by 'make of router'

in the ACL service, i have telnet enabled, and i am able to telnet to the router from console, and i am able to login

hydra 192.168.1.1 telnet -s 23 -V -l admin -P /pentest/passwords/jtr/password.lst -t 128 -w 59 -f

with that command hydra doesnt find the password, but i have added my router password to the password.lst

Error: Child with pid 24554 terminating, can not connect

the command below, with password1.lst it has 2 password, one wrong one and one correct password, hydra doest ind the password

hydra 192.168.1.1 telnet -s 23 -V -l admin -P /pentest/passwords/jtr/password1.lst -t 128 -w 59 -f

when i try with medusa, both password.lst and password1.lst it shows the password

I've the same problem with hydra, I'm going to try Medusa now. I used

Code:

---

hydra -l admin -P Documents/passsword.txt 192.168.1.2 telnet

---

It gives me wrong password and different one each time, but when i use the format:

Code:

---

hydra -C admin_password.txt 192.168.1.2 telnet

---

It outputs the right password.
