Question About Hydra
https://www.reddit.com/r/Pentesting/comments/10vo7c7/question_about_hydra/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I’ve just started learning about Hydra and other penetration tools. I’m working through the easy CTF challenges on hacker101. Trying to run Hydra to solve for username, using rockyou.txt as the list. My question. Is 569 tries/min EXTREMELY slow? I’m using a 2018 Mac 3.2ghz 6Core i7. The updates are estimating 400hrs to complete. Just want to know if this is expected, or could I be possibly not configured correctly.

hacking: security in practice
Where To Draw The Legal Line

Hello all, I'm a white hat who is interested in advancing my offensive skills. I've just gotten my GCIH certification, and during that course I learned some of the basics. I'd love to continue testing and playing around with some of the tools I learned about outside of the VM environment they supplied us with. However, I am totally unsure about where my activity becomes illegal and I don't want to even come close to committing any crimes unknowingly. Does anyone have any information on how I can go about this? Can I use nmap on a public network? Can I throw some sql injection tests in some random website? How do bug bounty hunters do it? Let me know if anyone can advise on this, thank you!
