hi,

we are conducting a PT for a website. In order to password crack the
login/password form authentication (which happens to be squirrelmail,
written in php, looks similar to the login page of yahoo or msn) I was
looking for some tools.

I came across Hydra and Brutus. When I tried Brutus on an inhouse dummy
site, after configuring the parameters the target would automatically
become <target>redirect.php. I googled but couldnot find a solution to it.

Then I tried hydra at with following command:
# hydra -l smg -p we2su 192.168.0.3 http /webmail/src/login.php

it resulted as:
[80][www] host: 192.168.0.2 login: smg password: we2su

which is a wrong result since I had given the wrong password.

I get the same result for valid or invalid passwords.

Am I doing anything wrong?

Is there any other tool which does what I'm looking for?

Pls. help me with this :)

Regards,
B'shan
