Module Options
| BLANK_PASSWORDS | Try blank passwords for all users (default: true) |
| BRUTEFORCE_SPEED | How fast to bruteforce, from 0 to 5 (default: 5) |
| PASSWORD | A specific password to authenticate with |
| PASS_FILE | The file that contains a list of probable passwords. (default: /home/svn/jobs/msf3/data/wordlists/unix_passwords.txt) |
| RHOSTS | The target address range or CIDR identifier |
| RPORT | The target port (default: 110) |
| STOP_ON_SUCCESS | Stop guessing when a credential works for a host |
| THREADS | The number of concurrent threads (default: 1) |
| USERNAME | A specific username to authenticate as |
| USERPASS_FILE | File containing users and passwords separated by space, one pair per line |
| USER_AS_PASS | Try the username as the password for all users (default: true) |
| USER_FILE | The file that contains a list of probable users accounts. (default: /home/svn/jobs/msf3/data/wordlists/unix_users.txt) |
| VERBOSE | Whether to print output for all attempts (default: true) |
| CHOST | The local client address |
| CPORT | The local client port |
| ConnectTimeout | Maximum number of seconds to establish a TCP connection |
| MaxGuessesPerService | Maximum number of credentials to try per service instance. If set to zero or a non-number, this option will not be used. |
| MaxGuessesPerUser | Maximum guesses for a particular username for the service instance. Note that users are considered unique among different services, so a user at 10.1.1.1:22 is different from one at 10.2.2.2:22, and both will be tried up to the MaxGuessesPerUser limit. If set to zero or a non-number, this option will not be used. |
| MaxMinutesPerService | Maximum time in minutes to bruteforce the service instance. If set to zero or a non-number, this option will not be used. |
| Proxies | Use a proxy chain |
| REMOVE_PASS_FILE | Automatically delete the PASS_FILE on module completion |
| REMOVE_USERPASS_FILE | Automatically delete the USERPASS_FILE on module completion |
| REMOVE_USER_FILE | Automatically delete the USER_FILE on module completion |
| SSL | Negotiate SSL for outgoing connections |
| SSLVersion | Specify the version of SSL that should be used (accepted: SSL2, SSL3, TLS1) |
| ShowProgress | Display progress messages during a scan |
| ShowProgressPercent | The interval in percent that progress should be shown |
| WORKSPACE | Specify the workspace for this module |
| TCP::max_send_size | Maxiumum tcp segment size. (0 = disable) |
| TCP::send_delay | Delays inserted before every send. (0 = disable) |
