The Legality of Bruteforcing Login Credentials - lokiavenges - Apr 11, 2015

I would like to know if brute forcing a website is legal. I am trying to hack a websites login and need to know before I begin a attack and for anyone wondering I'm using Kali Linux Hydra.

Of course this is illegal. You should just turn your computer off tbh, man.

its illegal as shit,
you are trying to get acces to an account that doesn't belong to you, so yes it is illegal

This is illegal as shit, you are stealing online access to an account that is not your property.

Sir cyber crime isn't a joke, you're potentially looking at prison. You will go on trial and will probably get 10-15 in a penitentiary. 👍

It's is a serious felony and I would recommend stopping what ever you where gong to be doing.

If you are asking a question like this, that should be enough reason to stop before you get yourself into trouble.
