Problem With IRC Bruteforcing

Open Unline opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

_hi there

i couldn't figure it out

example :

hydra chat.freenode.net -l ID -p PASS irc

doesn't work

hydra doesn't find it even with correct input

have i missed anything ?_

it would rather be

hydra -l ID -p PASS chat.freenode.net irc or hydra -l ID -p PASS irc://chat.freenode.net

but that should actually not be the problem. Add the "-d" flag and check the data sent and received what is going wrong. the module is old and not written by me, so no clue if it still works.

thank you for your answer

i've used the command in the forms you mentioned

didn't make any difference

you can see the output with the -d flag here

here is the error

[ERROR] should not be able to identify server msg, please report it :leguin.freenode.net NOTICE * :* Looking up your hostname...**

I could only shortly look into it, and it seesm that the irc module is a bit outdated. I guess fixing it would not be that hard, but currently I have no time whatsoever to do that.

feel free to send in a patch, otherwise this will take 3 weeks minimum until I have the time.
