Brute Force Attack Using Hydra On Aagahi Portal

This ethical hacking project explored the vulnerabilities of the Aagahi Portal through a brute force attack using Hydra. By generating username and password lists, inspecting login fields with Burp Suite, and executing targeted attacks, the project successfully demonstrated how weak authentication mechanisms can be exploited.

The simulation revealed security flaws that could potentially lead to unauthorized access to 249 student accounts, emphasizing the risks of compromised confidentiality, integrity, and availability. To mitigate such threats, the study proposed security enhancements, including CAPTCHA, two-factor authentication (2FA), account lockout mechanisms, and rate limiting.

This project was conducted strictly for educational purposes within a controlled environment, highlighting the importance of ethical cybersecurity practices and proactive defense strategies.
