    Nice tool, only unfortunate name, consider changing it. Already very well know security tool named hydra https://github.com/vanhauser-thc/thc-hydra been around since 2001. Then facebook went ahead and named their config tool hydra https://github.com/facebookresearch/hydra on top of it. Like we get it, hydra popular mythology but we could use more original naming for tools

    I just started learning Rust, but I will begin building a brute-force tool. Hydra is great but lacks updates, IMHO. I started using Golang, but it sucks (I love the Go language, but it sucks for this type of task).
