THC-Hydra Windows Install Guide Using Cygwin


THC-Hydra Windows Install Guide

Ok So I had a difficult time as a beginner installing hydra so I'll be helping you today installing THC-Hydra in this Tutorial.

Step 1: Download the Cygwin that corresponds to your system.
DOWNLOAD

Note: you can find out if your system is either 64 or 32 bit by right clicking "Computer" in the start menu.

Step 2: Install Cygwin by clicking on your what you've downloaded from the Cygwin website. Press next on everything until when asked for what server to download from, click on anyone (I don't think it matters which one you choose). Stop again when you need to select packages and move to step 3.


Step 3: Press the + button besides the "Default" package (only package that should be there) and a list of packages should show up; find the package "devel" under the "Default" package and change where it says "default" besides each package's name to "Install" only to the devel package by clicking on where it says "default" besides devel.



Note: The "default" package I talk about sitting at the top is not the same as the "default" installation besides each package.

Step 4: Click next, select the required packages option, go on and finish your download

Step 5: Not really a step but you should have a Cygwin terminal on your desktop and if not go to the install destination (usually "C:\Cygwin" or "C:\Program Files\Cygwin") and right click the batch file labeled Cygwin and press "Create Shortcut" and move the shortcut into wherever you find the most convenient to have it at.

Note: You will be using the Cygwin terminal every time you want to use hydra.

IMPORTANT, ONLY FOR 64-BIT USERS:
1. Go into the folder where Cygwin was installed
2. Go into the folder inside the Cygwin installation folder named "bin"
3. Right Click on a file in "bin", Go to properties and copy the location (Ex. C:\Program Files\Cygwin\bin) which is essentially the location of the bin folder.
4. Go to "Control Panel\System and Security\System"
5. Click Advanced System Setting located to your left
6. Sitting at the bottom right of the screen that just popped up press the Environment Variables button
7. On the second box of text titled System Variables scroll down until you find the variable "Path"
8. Click the variable "Path" and click the edit button
9. Don't mess with anything in the text box just type this besides all the already written shit in the text box ";[Bin location Here]"
10. Press Ok

Now that we have finished installing Cygwin we can get to the fun part and install Hydra

Step 1: Download Hydra from either directly
DOWNLOAD


Step 2: Unzip the file using a program such as Winrar (can be downloaded at www.rarlab.com) to your desktop.

Step 3: Move the file from your desktop into your main drive "C:"

Step 4: Open the Cygwin terminal which if you listened to me you made a shortcut to already.

Error Note: If it says "cannot find mintty would you like to browse for it" then browse to your installation folder, go to bin and look alphabetically for mintty until you find it.

Step 5: search for cmd at the start menu (if you can't it's placed in "C:\Windows\System32\cmd") when you do find it right click it and click "run as administrator"

Step 6: type "NetSh Advfirewall set allprofiles state off" to turn off your firewall off. manually turn off your other antiviruses such as Norton or McAfee

Note: I understand this might sound crazy but when you're installing a hacking software you don't anti-hack softwares running.

Now you can test Cygwin out by issuing a few commands that you wouldn’t normally have use to in Windows that are common Linux commands. Here is a quick view of: "pwd", "cd /", "ls", "ps":


Step 7: on Cygwin terminal type 
"cd /cygdrive/c/hydra-8.1.tar"



Once this is successful there should be yellow text besides your user name saying "/cygdrive/c/hydra-8.1.tar"



Step 8: Type "./configure"
wait until it stops saying anything and then wait 2/3 minutes to make sure it stopped.



step 9: Type "make"
wait until it stops saying anything and then wait 2/3 minutes to make sure it stopped.


Step 10: Type "make install"
wait until it stops saying anything and then wait 2/3 minutes to make sure it stopped.


Step 11: I hope by now everything has gone fine and Cygwin should be letting you input but just close it if you're done.

Step 12: Now right click your Cygwin shortcut, go into properties and make the start in "C:\hydra-8.1.tar" and rename it hydra

Step 13: Turn your firewall back on by typing this in the admin cmd "NetSh Advfirewall set allrprofiles state on" but make sure that it doesnt intervene with hydra, google how to exclude programs from firewall and if you have a antivirus same goes.

    1. Hi! I encountered the same problem, and have found a solution. Run the setup executable for cygwin again, no need to uninstall. In the package selection folder, search "Devel". Click on the word that says "Default" so that it says "Install". Continue the installation as normal. Wait, maybe play a game while it installs. Once its done open cygwin and type "g++ -v" without the quotation marks to see if it installed correctly. If so, it will give you version information and such. Glad to help, hope this works :)

    2. It may be name diffrently eg mine was cd /cygdrive/c/thc-hydra-master

      Delete
    3. after c/ type the name of the hydra file you downloaded hopes this helps

      Delete
    4. On top of being another name such as thc- hydra-master, do note the space in between cd and /, I committed that mistake of omitting the space as cs/, the correct one should have space cd /
      it can be 8.1 can be thc , can be other names, depends on the name of the hydra file being installed
