Hydra on Windows comes up with "[ERROR] Compiled without LIBSSH v0.4.x support, module is not available"


After trying to run the following query with THC-HYDRA:

hydra -l ROOT -P pass.lst -M hosts.lst ssh

I get this responce:

Hydra v7.5 (c)2013 by van Hauser/THC & David Maciejak - for legal purposes only

[ERROR] Compiled without LIBSSH v0.4.x support, module is not available!

I downloaded LIBSSH from libssh.org and installed it to no avail. The internet seems to hold no answers however I can see others have asked the same question.

Thanks very much indeed, user.


Solution

  • I was having the same problem. I compiled and then realized I forgot libssh when I tried to run it against my router so I installed it and recompiled; still it was not working. I tried "make clean" and it worked like a charm.
