During a security evaluation, you notice a service listening on TCP port 22 and suspect the login mechanism may allow repeated attempts. Which command line tool is used for systematically testing multiple username and password combinations?
Hydra
Wireshark
Nmap
Netcat
Hydra follows a structured approach to trying multiple credential sets across remote services, making it valuable for locating weak login passages. Netcat reads and writes network data without methodically verifying different credentials. Nmap is focused on inspection and detection, while Wireshark captures and reviews network traffic without attempting login combinations.
