    The Internet Scanner lets you brute force by using username/password
    pairs specified in the file default.login. I specified a known
    username/password pair but the scanner could not login.
    The reason is that the Internet Scanner needs a carriage return after
    the last username/password pair. If it finds just an EOF marker then the
    password gets modified by adding an additional character.
    For example the password test is modified to testo.
