Hi Gentlemen, It is really a brute force attack tool to obtain passwords. A password cracker (as Crack, John the Ripper, ...) but oriented to work over the network. Hydra does password cracking against SMB (Windows), telnet, POP/IMAP, FTP, ... It does dictionnary attacks as simple password generation algorithms. I use that in my company to evaluate passwords quality when I am not granted to crack the passwords directly from the box. If I succeed, bad point for the box owner ;-) @+ Laurent LEVIER Systems & Networks Security Expert, CISSP CISM
