  Do I understand correctly? You want to brute force a webbased
  authentication? I'm quite happy with the latest hydra. It now
  supports testing on forms (you can enter, what hydra must look
  for).  User and password lists are supported as well.
  The speed depends on a) the computer you use, b) your target
  and the c) the net in between.
  Be careful when testing over ssl. I nearly DoS'ed a target with
  such an attack (the customers wanted the brute force test but, of
  course, no DoS).
  What exactly do you mean by "extensive logging"? Hydra gives some
  statistics and the found user/pw combinations. What else is
  required?
