[Report 09/17]
Hello Nmap Community,

The whole week I was mostly concerned with porting libssh2 to Windows.
Although I made couple changes to brute.lua addressing feedback on my
report.

Accomplishments:
- Did almost working port of libssh2 to Windows.
  I still need to test it. Also there is a copyright concern as I used a
  ready implementation of selectable socketpair for Windows.

- Implemented quickstart strategy in brute.lua to deal with slow growth of
  the number of threads even if it is possible to get more running threads
  within resource constraints.


Goals:
o: Update description and documentation of brute.lua.
o: Merge brute.lua to the main trunk (?).
o: Continue working on libssh2 port to Windows.


Best regards,
Sergey
