Hello,
we have a couple of NVTs that wrap the tool "hydra"
(http://freeworld.thc.org/thc-hydra/).
Besides from being slightly out of date, I realized that this tool isn't Free
Software.
In fact is says its GNU GPL and has some additional clauses. Those clauses
prevent the "use for any purpose", basically its some limits on commercial
aspects.
I checked back with the authors and was confirmed that this is not but chance
but rather
by intention.
(This explains also why hydra has been removed from Debian a while ago).
I would have preferred even a tighter integration with hydra, because it is
light-weight
and fast.
However, as things are, IMHO we have no other choice than to remove the hydra
NVTs
as people might unintendingly violate the license of hydra.
Any concerns or other comments?
Best
Jan
