The author of Medusa considers the following as some of the key features of this tool.

Thread-based parallel testing: Brute-force testing can be performed against multiple hosts, users or passwords concurrently.

Flexible user input: Target information (host/user/password) can be specified in a variety of ways. For example, each item can be either a single entry or a file containing multiple entries. Additionally, a combination file format allows the user to refine their target listing.

Modular design: Each service module exists as an independent .mod file. This means that no modifications are necessary to the core application in order to extend the supported list of services for brute-forcing.

JoMo-Kun and his team (developers) installed Medusa on a variety of default system installations and performed some basic tests. According to the test results, Medusa perfectly works on Linux, BSD, SunOS, and Mac, but not on Cygwin.
