Hack Gmail via bruteforce attack
HACK GMAIL WITH HYDRA
Hello guys in this blog post I'm going to show u how to hack or brute force email passwords using a tool called Hydra.
Hydra is a very powerful brute forcing tool and it comes built in to Kali Linux. U may need to install it in other Linux distros.
So for today's tutorial we need:
"Kali Linux
Hydra
An E-mail Address to hack
SMTP server settings of the email provider(Google it, I am using a G-mail ID for this tutorial)
a good password list"
So let's get started.
STEP 1:
Boot kali linux and create a password list(Make sure that the list isn't too large.. avoid the built-in passwords list in kali.. this is because we do not want the mail server to be triggered while brute forcing, so try using a short list). Below is a list that I am gonna use:
STEP 2:
Note down the SMTP mail server settings(mainly the Address and the port
Now type this command:
hydra -l testvictimgeek@gmail.com -P passwords.lst -s 465 -S -v -V -t 1 smtp.gmail.com smtp
here, testvictimgeek@gmail.com is the E-mail that we are gonna hack, passwords.lst is the password list, 465 is the SMTP port no, -t is the no. of threads(which is 1 in this case), -S means its using SSL, and smtp.gmail.com is the smtp address, and at last smtp means its using smtp protocol.]
PLEASE CHANGE THE VALUES ACCORDING TO YOURS :)
Now just hit enter, u will get result some what like this below(remember to change the values as per yours, I mean in the command, don't use my e-mail address):
The green coloured one is the password :D.
That's it for this tutorial, hope to see u in the next one :)
