PDFCRACK - A TOOL TO CRACK PDF FILES PASSWORD

 Hydra is a powerful tool for performing online password attacks against various network protocols, but it's not typically used for cracking PDF file passwords. However, you can use other tools like "pdfcrack" or "qpdf" along with a wordlist to crack PDF passwords. Here's a basic guide on how to use "pdfcrack":

1. **Install pdfcrack**: You can typically install pdfcrack using your package manager. For example, on Debian/Ubuntu, you can use:

   ```

   sudo apt-get install pdfcrack

   ```

2. **Prepare a Wordlist**: You need a list of possible passwords to try. You can create one yourself or use existing wordlists. There are many available online.

3. **Run pdfcrack**: The basic syntax for pdfcrack is:

   ```

   pdfcrack -f <PDF-file> -w <wordlist>

   ```

   Replace `<PDF-file>` with the path to your PDF file and `<wordlist>` with the path to your wordlist file.

   For example:

   ```

   pdfcrack -f example.pdf -w rockyou.txt

   ```

   This command will attempt to crack the password for `example.pdf` using the passwords listed in the `rockyou.txt` wordlist.

4. **Wait for the process to complete**: Depending on the complexity of the password and the size of your wordlist, this could take some time.

5. **Retrieve the password**: If pdfcrack successfully finds the password, it will display it on the screen.
