How to compile hydra on Android

Hydra can run on Android without root permissions, this is thanks to Termux, A powerful emulator of terminal with an ecosystem of packages.

To compile hydra on Android, you will need to download Termux.

I note that termux no longer provides support for Android devices less than or equal to Android 6, therefore your cell phone must be Android 7 or higher.

After installing termux, enter the following commands at your terminal:

# Update package list 
pkg update && pkg upgrade
# Installing dependencies
pkg install -y x11-repo
pkg install -y clang make openssl openssl-tool wget openssh coreutils gtk2 gtk3
# Compiling hydra
./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
make && make install 

then you can use hydra in the termux terminal

To use xhydra (GUI), you will need to install a graphical output in termux, you can be guided from this article:

If you have never used a GUI on Android or are not able to configure it, you can use these projects from the termux community:

• openbox by adi1090x

• lxqt by yisus

• xfce4 by yisus
