Feedback on my old-ish tool

Hello,

Some time ago, I made a tool for performing brute-force attacks (for work purposes, as I work as a security tester/pentester). I don't know if I had hands from the wrong place or what, but it was somewhat difficult to use Hydra, which at that time was a top-tier tool for this. So I made my own tool that works like I want it to work.

The main idea of the tool is that all configuration goes inside a YAML configuration file. Why, you may ask, because security testing usually goes in this circle: performing -> reporting -> someone fixes -> re-testing. Sometimes the systems we test are similar, sometimes they are complex enough, and also saving hydra commands or sharing them wasn't quite a practical solution in the long term.

Some time ago, I moved to another company where I'm more on the defensive side rather than attacking, so I didn't have a chance to use this tool much. So maybe anyone can give some kind of feedback on the code, possible improvements, etc.

p.s. For all the AI haters, this code is not vibe coded, as it was created when the AI hype wasn't even a thing. :) Commits lasting years are a good proof for that.

Thanks.

Hayo there

Hello there,

I'm working on one quite heavy project, and well, my current AI skills are not strong enough, simply saying, I started only this year to learn deeply about it, and so far I speedrunned quite a lot, thanks to my friends who know more, and I would appreciate if I will find more people who might help me with reaching my goals with the current project.

I'm not sure if I will be able to finish this project, as I mentioned, it's quite heavy, especially for someone who has just started AI journey. I already have the first blocker, that my GPU is not strong enough, so maybe my first question is, should I better save money for RTX 5080/5090 or 2x 3090? I will need A LOT of VRAM.

I will appreciate any help. Thank you. :)
