I received several comments saying that i am distributing Malware because some antivirus engines are detecting hydra/pw-inspector as Hacktool.Hydra and that’s not a false positive it is a hack tool, i never did or will harm anyone.. and i even got a take down notice (the exe for some reason was detected by them as PHP) but my provider heard my side of the story and no further actions were taken.

For that and because i will be compiling the newer versions just occasionally but not very often so i thought of teaching you how to compile it yourself instead of downloading the binaries from me or anyone else.


First download and install Cygwin

Don’t do a default install, You have to install packages that Hydra depends on.
Here is the list of the dependencies

make
idn-devel
libncurses-devel
libpcre-devel
libpq-devel
libapr1-devel
libaprutil1-devel
mysqlclient-devel
libssh2-devel
pkg-config
libgtk2.0-devel
libgtk2.0_0
binutil
xorg-server
xinit
gnutls-devel
libgnutls28

Copy paste the names one by one into the search box


Click the “skip” to make it install that package


That would be enough for a basic install of hydra but you should add SSL and SSH support and here is how.

Download the Light version of OpenSSL and install it somewhere then copy libeay32.dll to C:\Cygwin\bin

And download libssh to be able to support SSH.

Install it into the C:\Cygwin\ folder, or install it somewhere else and copy the bin, include, lib folders to C:\Cygwin\

Go to C:\cygwin\usr\i686-pc-mingw32\sys-root\mingw\bin and copy libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll and libz-1.dll to C:\Cygwin\bin – And rename libz-1.dll to libz.dll

And that’s it we are ready to compile it!

Download Hydra http://www.thc.org/releases/hydra-7.6.tar.gz to C:\cygwin\home\%username%

Launch the Cygwin Terminal then unpack the archive: tar xf hydra-7.6.tar.gz
Enter the folder: cd hydra-7.6
Configure it: ./configure
Make it happen!: make && make install

Finally to make it run. Copy hydra.exe, pw-inspector, xhyrda.exe to C:\Cygwin
And instead of having to manually run Cygwin-X manually each time you have to run xHydra i made this startup file save it as launch.bat and put it in C:\Cygwin too

@@echo off
setlocal
SET PATH=%PATH%;bin
SET DISPLAY=:0
C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe /usr/bin/bash.exe -l -c /usr/bin/startxwin.exe
echo Press any key to launch Hydra
@@pause
xhydra.exe

It adds the bin folder (containing the dll files it needs) to the path environment variable.
Prepares DISPLAY to make it connect to Cygwin-X.
Runs Cygwin-X server.
Then launch xHydra.

And viola!! Hydra as GUI


Enjoy!
