Hello,

     Sorry for posting on such an old post but, I have a similar issue.
I downloaded, "-=Xploitz=- Master Password Collection," which is about 3.55 GB (uncompressed). It's a massive library of "dictionaries" of all kinds.

It also included "useful tools," such as a Dictionary Maker from 1995 (which I use now). I created a massive dictionary (of every possible character combination 1-10 characters long); Now I have no idea if I am doing the command correct or not.

Here's a quick run-over of my "specs":
Router -- LinkSys BEFSR81
Operating System -- Windows XP: Service Pack 2
Internet Explorer version -- 6.0
Cipher Strength 128-bit (from the "about")

To log into the router you go to 192.168.1.1 (to be 100% clear);
I have HYDRA Win32 5.4, I'm comfortable with using consoles, I grew up on DOS.

The command(s) for HYDRA I use are:
hydra -l admin -P words.txt -e ns -f -o OUTPUT.txt -vV 192.168.1.1 http-get /

Is there anything wrong in there? Or something I should change? Also, is there something I could safely (and legally) test HYDRA on to make sure I'm doing this correctly (like TeamSpeak, X-Fire, MySpace)?
