[...] And third, but most annoying, after it guesses a valid username/password pair , the server is locked for quite some time, so the script retries the connection until the server is available again and it can continue. Now, to resolve this last issue, there are two options: 1) The script quits after it finds one valid login or 2) The script loops in a sort of busy wait until the server becomes available again. In it's current state, the script implements the second option. Any thoughts on this ?
Hello, selecting one of the two possible behaviors you describe should be done with the brute.firstonly parameter. Also, what do you mean by "quite some time"? If you detect this behavior (pcAnywhere implementation) and if this value is always the same between versions, then your code could just sleep() for this duration? Or is there a need for an active sleep(<short time>) and retry cycle?
