 
    fastbrute - fast brute force attack

  This is a vunerability testing tool that can generate a "mock" FTP brute 
  force attack against a server. It reads from two files, "usernames" and
  "passwords" for the username and password lists to try; and creates an 
  output file "found" of successful username/password pairs. 

  The username and password files provided contain usernames of the form
  "bfuser#" eg bfuser1; and passwords of the form "pass#" eg pass1.
  There are 32 such users and passwords in these lists, providing a total
  of 1024 username/passwords pairs that will be checked.

  It can be useful to create an account on the target host with a username
  "bfuser3" and password "pass2", to confirm that this program finds that 
  pair successfully.

 USAGE:
	fastbrute hostname [threads]

  By default the program will run 8 threads. By increasing or decreasing
  the number of threads the speed of the attack can be controlled.

 INSTALLING:
	make
	make install
  Edit the Makefile if the build fails and use settings appropriate for
  your OS.

 VERSION: 07-Nov-2004, ver 0.53

 WARNING: Please don't use this software for anything illegal. That 
  definition differs for every country, please check the law first.
  This is a vunerability testing or assesment tool, not a "cracking" 
  or "hacking" tool - a misidentification that could render owning
  this software illegal in some countries.

  Also beware if a legitimate user on the target server exists with a
  username of the form "bfuser#", as this program could damage their
  account (lock it due to repeated failed logins).
