[FIX] Hydra

[imported_ch0ks]

When I tried to use Hydra against a SSH service and I get the next error: Error: Compiled without LIBSSH support, module not available!

The trick was downloading the libssh compile it and installing it qith the defaults from there

wget 0xbadc0de.be/libssh/libssh-0.11.tgz

Then I downloaded the hydra sources from here

wget freeworld.thc.org/releases/hydra-5.4-src.tar.gz

I modified the Makefile:

in the line 3 I changed the next 2 lines like this

XDEFINES= -DLIBOPENSSL -DLIBSSH
XLIBS= -lssl -lssh -lcrypto

and in the line 38 I changed the next 2 lines like this

BIN = hydra.ssh
BINUNIX = hydra.ssh pw-inspector

then "make all install"

and the new Hydra bin with ssh support is called hydra.ssh. You can leave the Makefile as it and you will overwrite the original hydra bin.

Here is my complete Makefile:

Ok I don't know what I am doing wrong here. Sorry I was going to post what errors I got but I can't use the code tags yet.... Here is some errors I get from when I try to make install in hydra

hydra-ssh2.c:93: error: ‘SSH_ERROR’ undeclared (first use in this function)
hydra-ssh2.c:93: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
hydra-ssh2.c:93: error: for each function it appears in.)


Here is how I get there in shorted steps ... Maybe I did something wrong while installing

i wget all the files needed
tar zxvf all the filles
cd into the libssh folder
./configure
make
make install
then cd into the hydra folder
./configure
copy and paste the file provided above
make
make install

it still does not work... I've also tried using medusa but I get an auth error after 3 attempts I tried abit to fix that one but I figured to stick to one program to get working.

this did not work..changed the make file ...still no joy.. after all this typing hydra gives an empty prompt.

Ch0ks,

I am new to Linux. Could you, or someone, please elaborate on this...

I modified the Makefile:

in the line 3 I changed the next 2 lines like this

Where will I find the "Makefile", so that I can Edit it.

Thanks.

This worked for me. Taken from Tux Training » Blog Archive » HOWTO: Install THC-Hydra 5.4 in Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex
Make sure you have the ssh package installed, build-essentials, and the 2.0 gtk (I dunno if that one really affected anything or not, but I did it and it's working now...)

Download the hydra source, untar it, etc.

./configure

nano Makefile

Edit the following lines to look like this, POSTGRES appears to be screwing stuff up in my case.

XDEFINES= -DLIBOPENSSL -DLIBSSH
XLIBS= -lssl -lssh -lcrypto

Ctrl-O, Ctrl-X

make

make install

Worked like a champ for me on my HDD install.

I also had to move the compiled libssh.so file into /usr/lib to get this working

[pippinbaggins]

but after the whole jive i run both the command line and gui hydra from

/usr/bin

or you can run

locate hydra

Full directions, thanks ch0ks, Adroitlearner for the basis.

Purpose: Describe how to get THC-Hydra running under BT4-Pre-Final. This should work for any Ubuntu-like distro.

Stage 1: Install LibSSH
Download, build, install, and copy libssh.so to where THC-Hydra will look for it.

mkdir temp
cd temp
sudo -s
wget 0xbadc0de.be/libssh/libssh-0.11.tgz
tar -xzvf libssh-0.11.tgz
cd libssh-0.11
./configure
make
make install
mv /usr/local/lib/libssh.so /usr/lib/
cd ..

Stage 2: Install THC-Hydra

wget freeworld.thc.org/releases/hydra-5.4-src.tar.gz
tar -xzvf hydra-5.4-src.tar.gz
cd hydra-5.4-src
./configure

Next, edit the Makefile (to overcome a bug in BT4 pre-release) to look like:

XDEFINES= -DLIBOPENSSL -DLIBSSH
XLIBS= -lssl -lssh -lcrypto

Complete the install with:

make
make install

NOTE: If you had tried to build Hydra before libssh was built, you will need to:

make clean
./configure

-- Edit Makefile again, as above --

make
make install

Stage 3: Clean up

cd ..
cd ..
rm -rf temp

Stage 4: Finally...
By default, Hydra will be installed in /usr/local/bin/hydra
Note, BT4 has hydra installed in /usr/bin/hydra
A non-elegant solution:

mv /usr/local/bin/hydra /usr/bin/hydra
exit

Have fun!
