False Positive with Hydra, Bruteforce method

[iloveludhiana]

I am using Hydra to bruteforce my email address. Below is command

hydra -s 465 -S -v -V -l myemailaddress@myemailprovider.com -x 10:12:al -t 1 -w 32 smtp.myemailprovider.com smtp

This returns a false positive. How to troubleshoot this?

I might be wrong here, but I think the issue is user error. Which is why [hackers] stress learning to code so much. This seems, to me at least, a very script kiddy question. "Help me brute force an email account", "I tried this thing I found online and it aint working..."

This could be handled in Python, and I'll give pseudo code in a sec, but this seems like some kind of copypasta from a tut that isn't working for OP.

Anyway, if you would code this simple shit yourself here is how it could go:

Code: [Select]

load libs you need
load the wordlist your using

for idshit in wordlist
    if login_with(idshit) is true
        do malisouse shit
    else
        go to next creds in wordlist bro

if IcantLoginBro
    useCodeIWroteWith(libsINeed) //to gen more bruteforceshit
else
    GO READ A FUCKING BOOK

Yes, I got code from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=631kMdEvZ0g

I have some python coding experience, will work on this.

lol why do people have so much trouble with hydra... i guess like you said, if they knew what the code was doing to brute force, they'd know whats wrong...

anyways so you at least got something to read

http://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to/hack-like-pro-python-scripting-for-aspiring-hacker-part-3-building-ftp-password-cracker-0159787/

i would suggest reading it from the 1st part... and since you have python experience, you'd know to use open() to read a file instead of making a list like they did there...

P.S making a SMTP one is a little different but that should give you an idea...
