Re: Attempt to index a nil value (local response)

[Daniel Miller <bonsaiviking () gmail com>]

Alo,

You are using an outdated version of Nmap, so I can't be sure exactly what
is going on. But in the current version, the connect and login functions
must return both a status and a response object. If the status is false,
the response object is checked (indexed) to determine what to do: slow
down, try again, etc. Check the documentation on the brute library to see
if there is anything you need to change:
