About NetHydra

This pages still in development

NetHydra formerly known as HydraPWK is an OpenSource Linux distribution based on Debian Project distro .

This distribution contains several Penetration Testing tools, Includes Information gathering, scanning, Stress Testing, Exploitation, Cracking, Reversing, Forensics, Drone.

What is NetHydra?

NetHydra is Open-source Linux Distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux <debian.org>, aimed for research and pentesting on Industry area.

Open-source

This project is Open-source, based on Debian GNU/Linux <debian.org> under DFSG license.

Don’t worry about security, you can always check our sources.

How this is work?

This project is different from another project, We emphasize this project for real-time pentesting, encouraging it to help red-team experts to perform physical pentesting. As default we’re using RT kernel PREEMPT_RT make sure Everything is running on time.

We build things for the industry.

NetHydra Features

  • RT kernel - As default NetHydra using RT(real-time) kernel <VERSION_KERNEL>-xhydrapwk-<RT_VERSION>-antihacker-<ARCH>, thats bacause we are focusing NetHydra for the real-time hardware hacking(physical hardware pentesting), thats why we need low latency for communicate with the target.
  • Plug and Play - NetHydra it’s self having linux kernel name xhydrapwk-rt1-antihacker or <VERSION_KERNEL>-xhydrapwk-rt1-antihacker-<ARCH> not just RT as default we have also built-in kernel module, so with this you don’t need to load module manually and thats will automatically loaded on boot.
  • Open-source - this software is Open-source all packages (a lot of packages/tools) under DFSG, GPLv2+, GPLv3, GPLv2, Apache license and it’s Open-source (only on component main/free)
  • Device support - Curently we are still developing or adapt NetHydra into embedded device like TvBox and Mobile.
  • Drop unit - Drop every node cache every shutdown and boot

NetHydra For daily use (Daily driven)

we doesn’t recommend NetHydra for daily use and not for usual Desktop, with another word NetHydra not for all people
