Hi!,

WPScan is a black box WordPress Security Scanner written in Ruby which
attempts to find known security weaknesses within WordPress
installations.
I tried it minutes ago, nice tool!

Features include:

Username enumeration (from ?author)
I tried it with some WordPress based websites and it is not showing
the usernames but the display name. Did you wanted to get the display
name?
If you expected to get the username, you can find it by parsing the
head section of the html source code, the username is usually inside
an href tag preceded by '/author/'.

Hope it's useful!
