- Username enumeration (from author querystring and location header)
- Weak password cracking (multithreaded)
- Version enumeration (from generator meta tag)
- Vulnerability enumeration (based on version)
- Plugin enumeration (2220 most popular by default)
- Plugin vulnerability enumeration (based on version) (todo)
