This is a generated tarball.  Please use ‘git-fetch’ instead and make
sure to check ‘guix lint’.

According to ‘README’, upstream is actually

What about “Gain access to a remote system by trying logins and passwords”?

How about something like this:

  This package provides a tool to demonstrate how easy it is to gain
  unauthorized access to a system by automatically attempting logins and
  passwords.  It supports a wide range of protocols, including SSH,
  SMTP, and HTTP.

Could you send an updated patch?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
