Welcome to Pluralsight and this cybersecurity tools course featuring THC Hydra,

00:00:12.300 --> 00:00:15.800

Weak passwords can be guessed using brute‑forcing techniques.

00:00:23.310 --> 00:00:27.740
Credential sets gained by these techniques are often used towards initial

00:00:27.750 --> 00:00:33.630
access into a system. THC Hydra is a fast, network login brute‑forcing tool

00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:36.150
with support for various network protocols.

If you are seeking to learn how THC Hydra can be used to obtain valid

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:46.170
credential sets during security engagements, or if you just want to learn

00:00:46.170 --> 00:00:48.850
how attackers are able to perform these activities,

00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:52.920
