I've installed hydra in my path, but there is no indication that any of the plugins which use it are being enabled. None of them appear in the plugin list and there is no indication in the logs that plugin loading has failed or otherwise been disabled.

Are you sure hydra is in your path when you start nessusd ? (ie: usually this is done as root).


That is, do the following :

# which hydra
# nessusd -D

If that does not work, try to following :


$ cat << EOF > test.nasl if ( find_in_path("hydra") ) display("OK\n"); else display("Not found\n"); EOF

And run nasl -X test.nasl (as root, still). If nasl tells you that hydra was not found, please send me the exact location hydra is installed under, as well as the value of the $PATH variable.
