So here it is, I had time to kill, so I used it to hack into my own gmail address with THC Hydra. (very fun I know). So I checked out some old forums and gradually learned how to do it. I understood the overall functioning of THC Hydra, whether it is the dictionary system or brutforce, the password and user lists. But many obstacles have stood in my way and are still standing, starting with the language barrier. There is also the phpsessid cookie that I can't systematically find or differentiate between the different servers (smtp, ssl, ftp etc...). However, my main one is this one: By creating a password list with a single password (the correct one) and by creating a user list with a single user (the correct one), THC Hydra makes endless attempts and comes to the conclusion (or not) that no password corresponds or comes to any conclusion. So I guess I have to configure some parameters, especially when a password is wrong, and when a password is correct. I have to use the phpsessid, don't I? How to ingest it in Hydra? How can he differentiate between the fake and the real? Have I forgotten a crucial point when setting up?

Attached are some codes and results I tried

I am very ignorant about the use, so I gladly accept any criticism and help from you

Sincerely

  • There are no cookies and thus also no phpsessid cookie when using the SMTP protocol as you do. Cookies are a property of HTTP/HTTPS protocols only. Sep 4, 2019 at 19:19

    These type of attacks are not appreciated by either Google or Stack Exchange. It is about breaking the security of a system that is not owned by you. Even thought it might be your account, you'll need explicit permission to use tools like this on public services like this.

You have mentioned that you are using a file for single user and another file for single password.

  • Users File: C:\Users\0ph10\Desktop\kit\brut\THCHydra\passlist\users.txt
  • Passwords File: C:\Users\0ph10\Desktop\kit\brut\THCHydra\passlist\psw.txt

But you have used the switch -l instead of -L to specify the users file . Refer user$hydra -h for more help.
