Any Suggestion

[@rjun]

Hey guys!
My problem is i am trying to brute force a cpanel and some how i have gained information about the admin of website(like his mobile no., address, name, son's name,etc), since he is my colleague...
But when i'm brute-forcing(through hydra) on the ftp port which is using Pure FTPd(i have checked no exploits exploits are present) and i'm sure his FTP pass and username is same for cpanel access.....But the problem is somehow hydra gets blocked after 45-58 attempts..So kindly help me..

In my knowledge i think i should use proxy, but i'm completely but i don't have money and i couldn't find any free proxy..

Ugh yeah, the smart person has fail2ban installed most likely. To continue after you get blocked, you need to use proxies, but you need a whole fuck load of them if you want to even make a dent.
Bruteforcing is for random targets, really... it's very ineffective for targeted attacks if you don't know anything about the password structure.

Thanks!
Can you suggest me where to find proxies?

[@rjun]

I have their list but i'm confused about username and password required in Hydra, will it be the default password(which i don't know)? This is my first time with proxies so...apologies for any stupid question...

Try and do some more recon on the target, it will help you be able to try and figure out the password using other methods, Brute force is a real Cave man esque method, as said before, its only really for websites that you don't have any information about

I guess you just scanned a site which has c-panel installed , and also you might have seen p ftpd port open among others and you wanna log in as admin by brute forcing ftp w/ hydra And use the same conditionals (found by hydra) to log in to c-panel.

You need to understand a single proxy can't help and may not even multiple ones if you got them for free though. check http://proxylist.hidemyass.com/ and "Google it my friend you would find plenty"
No need any a/c for free proxy just punch in "ip:port" and you are ready to go.
But it's not quite a safe or anonymous way i won't prefer it.
The problem is there exists a time-delay windows which blocks brute forcing after a certain number of unsuccessful attempts in the given time. so you need to guess the delay time and use it shrewdly in Hydra.
                            Otherwise what's happening w/ you that  you are not the only one who got blocked after a certain no of wrong attempts. Infact the whole ftp  server stops responding to login quires for a certain period and if you were using the proxy(ies)  I guess that to won't help you either untill you put in delay in b/w your attempts.

And what you can do w/ proxies that you can create a simple bash script to auto change proxies after N number of seconds. So the site admin may got terrified after seeing bruteforcing attempts from all over the world.

GOOD LUCK"
