      Description: A HTTP authentication brute forcer.
      Long Description: Authforce is an HTTP authentication brute forcer. Using various methods, it attempts brute force username and password pairs for a site. It has the ability to try common username and passwords, username derivations, and common username/password pairs. It is used to both test the security of your site and to prove the insecurity of HTTP authentication based on the fact that users just don?t pick good passwords.

      ---> Configuring authforce
      ---> Building authforce with target all
      ---> Staging authforce into destroot
