NetHydra Features
RT kernel – By default, hydrapwk uses the RT (real-time) kernel -xhydrapwk-rt1-antihacker- and this is because it focuses on real-time hardware hacking. That's why it needs low latency to communicate with the target.
Plug and Play – hydrapwk is standalone and has the Linux kernel name xhydrapwk-rt1-antihacker or -xhydrapwk-rt1-antihacker- , not only RT by default, but also a built-in kernel module, so with this you don't need to load the module manually as it will be loaded automatically at boot.
Open-source – the software is open source, all packages (bundles/tools) are licensed under DFSG, GPLv2+, GPLv3, GPLv2, Apache license.
NetHydra is not recommended for everyday use, it is not a regular desktop. In other words, NetHydra is not for everyone.

Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
