Hello!

Just quick explanation on why hydra and snmp portscan C plugins were
removed. It's simple. They were empty plugins. I checked if there's any
leftover dependency and removed them as both of them were superseeded
with nasl equivalents (snmpwalk_portscan.nasl and hydra*nasl). In short,
C plugins didn't add any functionalities (empty plugins). I also
commited hydra_mysql.nasl and hydra_postgresql, so hydra is definitively
supported well in OpenVAS.

For example, this is all  code from hydra C plugin (stripped comments):
#include <includes.h>


int plugin_init(desc)
 struct arglist * desc;
{
 return -1;
}



int
plugin_run(desc)
 struct arglist * desc;
{
 return 0;
}

As you can see it's empty. Hope this will shed some light on why I
removed hydra and snmp plugins. If you need more information, don't
hesitate to contact/bug me.

Kost
