Cyber Security | CTF | Build Your Own Hydra with Python
🚀 In this video, I’ll show you how to build a custom SSH brute force tool in Python — simulating the functionality of the Hydra tool!
🔐 Our Python script can:
Load username and password wordlists
Specify SSH port
Set the number of concurrent threads
Use paramiko, threading, queue, and ThreadPoolExecutor for efficient multithreading
Gracefully handle stop events during execution
🧠 We’ll walk through the entire code, explaining how to:
Use queue.Queue() to share data across threads
Implement stop functionality with the threading.Event()
Manage concurrency using ThreadPoolExecutor
⚡ This tool is perfect for learning how brute-force attacks work and getting hands-on with Python-based penetration testing.
✅ For educational purposes only. Do not use on systems you do not own or have permission to test.
💬 Let me know in the comments if you want to see this tool extended to support FTP, HTTP login, or more protocols!
