Today HydraPWK? No, not HydraPWK this is NetHydra! Yes! We’re rebranding HydraPWK! And now HydraPWK is NetHydra. What’s the difference between HydraPWK and NetHydra? There’s nothing “different” between HydraPWK and NetHydra, were still in the same philosophy, and How-To.

Why did we rebrand? Yes, you might think there’s a lack of consistency in our branding, but the main reason is to avoid any misunderstandings (As we announcment here).

But don’t worry were still same!. Due to the change in project name and branding, links and more have been updated to the new address!.

The wlan0, and eth0 guy.

Maybe you are realize the interface naming on NetHydra (formerly known as HydraPWK) is following default debian interface naming (Predictable interface naming) e.g wlp2s0, enps0xxx.

Which on most computers has a different name (depending on where the wireless card is installed) That’s why we have difficulty providing default configuration values in the packages we distribute (because each computer has a different interface naming).

Therefore, we are returning the interface names to the legacy naming method. (All configurations that use interface parameters will be set to wlan0, We will assume you are installing NetHydra as bare metal).

NetHydra is now using a legacy interface naming, E.g wlan0, wlan1, eth0.

However, if you feel “more comfortable” with predictable interface naming you can check our documentation!.
