    It is one of the good platforms for security researchers to submit bugs and other vulnerabilities, it however, has some challenges, in terms of un-verified and duplicate submissions.

    One scenario that fits well Hydra's ability is to test the strength of Drupal usernames and passwords. So, as an example, if we have a Drupal site at some HTTP web address, we could use lots of methods in order to collect a list with some valid users. After we create the list and also the list of some possible passwords we can try to initiate a Hydra brute force attack. Hydra for example is not suited for finding the vulnerabilities of a host, for this other solutions can be used.

    • One of most important thing is that Hydra's ability to perform HTTP post form attacks.
    • The tool also can be used to attack a great number of protocols.
    • The source code of the tool/software is also available for others (so it is not a closed source one).
    • A good thing about this tool is also the support available and it also has a high ranking on GitHub (over 1000 stars).

    Cons
    HackerOne
    • A lot of duplicate bugs get reported, although it does offer automatic suggestion of previously reported bugs that may be duplicates, it is far from perfect.
    • Anyone can report bugs, a lot of them are not verified before submission. This sometimes leads to a lot of time spent in verifying if the bug is really actionable.
    • Each submission has to be treated with equal potential, a lot of time, some time gets invested in vulnerabilities that aren't as important as some others.

    • It is not a straightforward tool to use, it needs certain dependencies to be installed so it can function as intended by its creators. This is one of the most important steps that need to be done while configuring the tool as one needs.
    • Sometimes the tool gives False Positives passwords.
    • There are some issues in the functionality of the tool itself (like some bugs, for example affecting the running and hanging process after a number of tries), but most of them have a solution and there is big community support for the tool.

    These were very close and we liked HackerOne better. For a time we did have both and we felt the need to consolidate the information into one platform and end of life our internal offering. Overall we've been fairly happy with HackerOne.

    There are many other tools similar to Hydra, one of them being "John the Ripper ". Notable differences are that while John the Ripper works offline, Hydra works online; also Hydra is more popular and with a wider usage as it supports Windows, Linux, and macOSX. An important thing is that both software are free to use, making both very useful tools. We can note that JTR has also a "pro" version that is not free to use and it is more optimized for speed and performance and focused on a specific operating system, while Hydra is free and offers all features at no cost.

    Return on Investment
    HackerOne
    • Bugs that can't be tracked internally are submitted by external researchers, which is an important factor for security vulnerabilities.
    • Even if the bugs reported are duplicates, there still is provision to award reputation points, that keep the researchers engaged.
    • It also requires a lot of verification and validation, as a lot of the submissions are unverified to begin with.
