Password Attacks - Password Mutations - Banging Head Against Wall!

1

Hot on the heels of my last post this module is like wading through treacle! Surely no-one else is as dumb as I am at these things! :sob:

So can I get this mutated password list to work agains the target??? No I cannot!!

As far as I can tell I have mutated the password list as per the instructions using the provided resources (custom.rule etc) but when I come to run hydra using the command below I am not getting any password hits.

I’ve tried this using my Parrot VM, Kali VM and the built in pwnbox to no avail… please someone end this misery! :sweat_smile:

It finally worked!! Thank you @hackernotone!! :blush: I’m definitely starting to realise that HTB can be a bit glitchy and inconsistent at times and that things may work within the built in pwnbox that won’t work in a local VM.

I’d seen a post from someone else with this same issue who had been attempting FTP and was advised to use SSH but for me FTP has worked this time so go figure! I can finally move on with my life! :joy:
