Subject: Bruteforce HTTP Basic authentification

Hello list!
I'm doing little pen-test of a web-application for a small company.
This application uses HTTP Basic autintification. So the question is:
does any one know some tools (such as brutus) for brutforce 
usernames and passwors for this type of authentification. 
These tools must run under Linux or FreeBSD.

PS. Sorry for my poor English.... I'm from Russia.

With best regards  Nik.
