Hi Doug,

I found out, that hydra was taken out of Debian, because the license is not 
fully compatible to the Debian license (DFSG). 

This is a pity. Hydra is a very fast (the fastest I know) bruteforce attacker 
with many, many supported protocols. I discovered it at www.thc.org.

I used it for a long time.
