Password Attacks Lab - Easy | Password Attacks

Did you find what files work? Please dm me if you can

Did you find the file that works?

1: Nmap Scan 22, 21 are open
2: Brute force attack using Hydra or Crackmapexec //Note 21 ‘FTP’ is faster than SSH
3: Download password.list and username.list wget https://academy.hackthebox.com/storage/resources/Password-Attacks.zip
4: In Brute force attack use the password.list and username.list //You can downloads them from resources ex: hydra -L username.list -P password.list ftp://IP //Just be patient
5: Connect through FTP and download id_rsa // ftp IP, then enter the password
6: Connect through SSH ssh USER@IP -i id_rsa, then enter the password
7: Find the ROOT password, hint: check the history

try to lower number of tasks by removing -t64 or setting lower number

just use the files provided in module resources

Lab Easy it’s OK!

However I couldn’t find the correct credentials using username.list and password.list. I’ve used hydra and crackmap whith out results.

I can resolve the module only reading this forum where they mention user M***.

Maybe should update this Lab :confused:

kira has a husband that she met in the library i think while they were studying about licensing products he must have felt so lucky, like he was in the casino or something

Text me for any questions

This lab is a complete waste of time. Rather than actually learning something, you just bang your head on a brick wall trying to get Hydra to enumerate through the word lists.

The only way I moved forward was reading the forum, literally hours wasted

I have problems because crackmapexec is deprecated, and is replaced by netexec, which giges me a huge error when trying to brute force ssh password…and I’m stuck with hydra.
