performs brute force password auditing against Wordpress CMS/blog 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:<code>wp-login.php</code>
* Default uservar: <code>log</code>
* Default passvar: <code>pwd</code>
