+## Online Password Cracking
+This task is solved using the `heartbleed` VM from Lab 5.
+
+### Preparation
+Look up IP address of `heartbleed` VM:
+
+```sh
+ip address show
+```
+
+Add local DNS entry for `heartbleed` VM:
+
+```sh
+echo '{ip address} heartbleed.ssb' | sudo tee --append /etc/hosts
+```
+
+Change Apache configuration to require login:
+
+```diff
+ <VirtualHost *:443>
+     ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
+ 
+     DocumentRoot /var/www/heartbleed.ssb
+     ServerName heartbleed.ssb
+     ServerAlias www.heartbleed.ssb
+     SSLEngine on
+     SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt
+     SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key
+     ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
+     CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
++
++    <Directory "/var/www/heartbleed.ssb">
++        AuthType Basic
++        AuthName "Restricted Content"
++        AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
++        Require valid-user
++    </Directory>
+ </VirtualHost>
+```
+
+Create user login `test` with a password of your choice (the later the password occurs in `rockyou.txt`, the longer it takes to crack):
+
+```sh
+sudo htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/.htpasswd test
+```
+
+Reload settings:
+
+```sh
+service apache2 reload
+```
+
+### Start Cracking
+Crack password using `Hydra`:
+
+```sh
+hydra -l test -P ./rockyou.txt heartbleed.ssb https-get
+```
+
+Output:
+```
