Hydra can brute-force passwords for more than 50 protocols, such as telnet, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, SMB, and databases. Hydra was developed by the hacker group “The Hacker’s Choice” and released in 2000 as a proof of concept tool. Hydra is also a parallelized login cracker, which means it can make multiple connections at the same time and reduce the time required to crack a password.
