Hydra install

[charlie205]

Thanks for the replies Robin.

I reloaded the entire system from the install discs, this time choosing to install every single package available. I did the hydra install again and it did not fail on any dependencies. The same thing happened though, it doesn't appear to be working. Which raises a question in my mind: how would I know that it is working? I have assumed the command hydra -h would give me the help menu and then I'd know it was working. Am I just using the wrong commands? Can you suggest a command to try for testing?

Also, if anyone else is reading these posts more replies would be appreciated.

I downloaded Hydra v4.5 and unzipped it. The README says to run ./configure then make then make install in order to compile and install the utility. I ran ./configure and when I run make I get the following output:

I don't know where to go from here. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

I installed openssl and got past the error.

i ran make and then make install. The output mentioned an error with gtk but said to ignore it because it wasn't important (just the gui I suppose). Anyway, I went to /usr/local/bin where hydra apparently installs and there is a file there called hydra but it is 0 bytes.

I ran make and make install again to give you the output.

make:
cd hydra-gtk && ./make_xhydra.sh
Trying to compile xhydra now (hydra gtk gui) - dont worry if this fails, this is really optional ...
Error: configure wasnt happy. Analyse this:
configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.0.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.
make: [xhydra] Error 1 (ignored)

Now type make install


make install:
test -e hydra.exe && touch Makefile || strip hydra pw-inspector
test -e hydra.exe && strip hydra.exe pw-inspector.exe || touch hydra
test -e xhydra && strip xhydra || touch Makefile
test -e hydra.exe && touch Makefile || cp hydra pw-inspector /usr/local/bin && cd /usr/local/bin && chmod 755 hydra pw-inspector
test -e hydra.exe && cp hydra.exe pw-inspector.exe /usr/local/bin && cd /usr/local/bin && chmod 755 hydra.exe pw-inspector.exe || touch Makefile
test -e xhydra && cp xhydra /usr/local/bin && cd /usr/local/bin && chmod 755 xhydra
make: [install] Error 1 (ignored)


Am I missing something here? I've heard of missing dependencies, but this seems a little complicated. What do you think?

The same for me , I'll try Alien + the rpm package
I'm using Ubuntu 7.10

Have you read the guide I did put a link to?

You know, with programs like these, I am glad that they aren't easy for newbies to install. You have got to learn something to install these "Leet" tools. I always say, if you can't install it, you probably don't need it. That's the beauty of being a Guru: Learn or die trying.

[RobinVossen]

MikeTbob, thats a Great Qoute.
Can I please put that on my webpage. Since I do develop such a leet tools aswell

[MikeTbob]

Thanks Robin,
Knock yourself out, you can Quote me all day long! heh
What is your webpage address?

[RobinVossen]

Ill tell you when the page is online
So your Qoutes are GPL2?
Mine are BSD ^^

Hello,
I have tried to configure and install Hydra at my Fedora Linux PC and unfortunately I wasn't be able to achieve the installation. I type ./configure, make and make install. Please see the attachments and advice me how to solve the errors. I have spent a lot of time trying to solve the error but I didn't. I hope you can help me . Thanks in advance.

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Trying something new, failing, getting help, then succeeding is how you learn this stuff. It's funny how you say "...you have got to learn something..." in one sentence and then "you don't need it" in the next. Sounds to me like you think you're more important than you are. Even the suggested link refers to an article on using hydra where the website motto is "Don't learn to HACK - hack to LEARN".

Your idiotic statement "...you probably don't need it." demonstrates your willingness to make an inference based on assumption. Did it ever occur to you that the reason for learning the app could be something other than simply lording your "1337 skillz" over your script kiddie friends? Hmmm....i guess not
