thc-hydra VS RustScan

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).

I am searching for people interested in coding an alternative to the thc-hydra project, with additional features (implementing the Shodan api to make it automated, etc...)

I will be giving CEH Practical exam in the next month and I can't find whether Rustscan is allowed or not. I have read EC-Council is very particular about the tools used so I want to be sure whether to implement in my prepartion or not.

I’m not sure why I decided to create it, I think I tried to use RustScan for a simple task last week, but it was too convoluted for my needs, as well as the fact that it requires nmap to be installed. Thus havn was born, nothing else needed, and only directly using two dependencies, Tokio and Clap, although I think If I really wanted to, I could remove the Clap dependency, but it’s just so handy and easy to use.

Did you read https://github.com/RustScan/RustScan, find the link to https://github.com/RustScan/RustScan/wiki/Installation-Guide and came across "Docker is the recommended way of installing RustScan"?

I like RustScan https://github.com/RustScan/RustScan . For one thing, it’s fast!
