Yeah, we had been talking about doing that in our weekly SoC NSE
meetings we had this summer.
Nice, I think that'd be a great step toward being a full fledged VA tool.

Given that the brute force scripts are by their nature non-default and
very intrusive, I'm not sure that using discovered credentials for
further exploration would be escalating the intrusiveness too much.
But it is a hard call.  If the authentication-requiring scripts won't
use discovered credentials by default, we should at least provide the
option.
That's a good point about already being intrusive.

Maybe I'll build the script to grab authentication from wherever it can find (parameters or registry), and let other scripts sort out that stuff. If credentials for that server end up in the registry, it makes sense to use them.
