[ERROR] Compiled without LIBSSH v0.4.x support, module is not available!

[ddistler]

Compiled hyrda with SSH support. When I run hydra I get the above error message.

Here are my libssh libraries:

root@leonard:/opt/thc-hydra# dpkg -l | grep libssh
ii libssh-4:amd64 0.6.3-4+deb8u2 amd64 tiny C SSH library (OpenSSL flavor)
ii libssh-dev 0.6.3-4+deb8u2 amd64 tiny C SSH library. Development files (OpenSSL flavor)
ii libssh2-1:amd64 1.4.3-4.1+deb8u1 amd64 SSH2 client-side library

Here is the output of my ./configure --debug (I pulled other modules out for cleaner reading).

root@leonard:/opt/thc-hydra# ./configure --debug

I guess you just ran "hydra" without a path prefix so one in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin was executed, not the one you compiled in the hydra source directory.
Try "./hydra -h" and ssh should be in the list of supported protocols.

[ddistler]

I first tried from ./hydra then when to the /usr/local/bin. Same issue

The OS is Debian Stretch (9.5). I recently upgraded from Jessie (8) so I did a make clean, git pull and rebuilt.

Here is my output from ./hydra -h

root@leonard:/opt/thc-hydra# ./hydra

Not sure if you're still having the issue, but I ran into this compiling hydra as well.
If you ran ./configure and make without the libssh packages installed; installed the packages and reran the commands make will not recognize the new configuration.

after installing the libssh packages I ran make clean followed by ./configure && make and the resulting hydra had libssh support

[tbennett6421]

Ah just saw you ran make clean already. Sorry

[XUZHONGYIQIANG]

现在有什么好的解决办法了？遇到了这个问题一直没有解决办法

[XUZHONGYIQIANG]

What's a good solution now? There is no solution to this problem

[vanhauser-thc]

the solution is to install ibssh ...

[XUZHONGYIQIANG]

It is also not allowed after installation，
Is there any installation method？

[vanhauser-thc]

you recompile it

thanks for support, it's a big help.

Hay what i did was just this "apt-get purge hydra" and then it started working after

[alessandrobelottidev]

That's what I did in order:

• Installed libssh: apt-get install libssh-dev
• Entered into the directory I've installed hydra in: cd /thc-hydra
• Cleaned make as sudo: sudo make clean
• Run configure: ./configure
• Run make install: sudo make install

[vanhauser-thc]

what did the output of ./configure show you? it tells you if it can find libssh or not

[Anon-Exploiter]

That's what I did in order:

• Installed libssh: apt-get install libssh-dev
• Entered into the directory I've installed hydra in: cd /thc-hydra
• Cleaned make as sudo: sudo make clean
• Run configure: ./configure
• Run make install: sudo make install

Thanks, worked fine.

That's what I did in order:

* Installed libssh: apt-get install libssh-dev

* Entered into the directory I've installed hydra in: cd /thc-hydra

It's work, thanks man :)

[00xPh4ntom]

That's what I did in order:

thanks your solution worked

[Dipak-Kalaskar077]

sudo apt install libssh-dev

cd thc-hydra/

HERE YOU GO

Just run hydra command
