Recently noticed a site named “hydra.opensuse.org” appear on my monitor. Also, found an RPM package named “hydra”. An attempt to visit the site was met with a login prompt. Just curious, what is “hydra” ? Thanks.
Hydra is a network logon cracker (the RPM) and hydra.o.o is most likely some dev/mirror/something else server.
Is “hydra” something to be concerned with or suspicious? The command you sent, is it something needed for security?
Hi
The host you see is the proxy/loadbalancer located in Nuremberg. So on your way to an openSUSE site (url), chances are you will pass through it…
host hydra.opensuse.org
hydra.opensuse.org has address 195.135.221.150
hydra.opensuse.org has IPv6 address 2001:67c:2178:8::19
Nothing to be worried about.
Thanks, Malcolm. I know “hydra” is a hackers tool and I didn’t know if I should be concerned about it. Thanks for the help.
Yep, just relax.
…oh, and Live Long & Prosper.lol!
