For the brute-force attack, THC's hydra could be used instead of reinventing the wheel. Or are there licensing issues involved?

Hydra unifies brute forcing dozens of protocols into a singular (cli) API. It is useful in that you don't have to have dozens of tools for each kind of service you might want to enumerate, each with their own interfaces.
