Hydra is a tool for password cracking. It uses brute-force and dictionary attacks to guess login credentials.

basic syntax hydra -l [account name] -P [password list] [target IP]

"-l" specifies an account name to be brute forced

"-P " specifies a list of passwords to try on the target account

"-t" specifies the amount of threads, or parallel tasks, to do when brute forcing. This speeds up the process at the cost of resources.
