Hydra v6.3 Released with oracle & snmp-enum modules !
The Hacker News

A very fast network logon cracker which support many different services. Have a look at the feature sets and services coverage page - including a speed comparison against ncrack and medusa! Number one of the biggest security holes are passwords, as every password security study shows. Hydra is a parallized login cracker which supports numerous protocols to attack. New modules are easy to add, beside that, it is flexible and very fast.
