wordpress bf slows down

Hey i'm trying to brute force a wordpress login with hydra but something (i think it's cloudflare) blocks the attack. Anyone knows a way around this?

In Wordpress, if your dictionary is so big that it gets you rate-limited, you're doing it wrong. Wordpress user lists are too small to be worth bruteforcing with thousands of entries, not to mention you're expecting a huge jump in traffic.

Try lowering your request rate. Also make a more targeted user list instead of tossing 25 megabytes into it in one go. Do some reconnaissance beforehand on whom the users are.
