A while back, there was a very popular ssh brute forcing script floating around that used the tcl expect interpreter to 
impliment the brute forcing of the ssh client.  This is probably a modified script that uses it over a variety of hosts 
and on success sends the necessary back door files.  Also, someone probably has written a basic brute force generator 
for it, so dictionary only attacks will probably not succeed.
