title: Nmap http-joomla-brute script example?
body: <p>This is a relatively obscure topic, but any help is nevertheless appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to run a brute force test on my website's Joomla login. I was trying to use nmap's http-joomla-brute, but for some reason it does not output neither the process nor does it actually do the brute force with the password list I gave it. Here is my script:</p>
  
  <pre><code>nmap -sV --script http-joomla-brute --script-args 'passdb=/Users/abc/Documents/passwords.txt,http-joomla-brute.threads=5,brute.firstonly=true' my.website.here.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I think it only runs the initial testing(which is really annoying BTW, does anyone have a way to avoid/skip it?) and the default password list, because  it shows something like "1495 passwords tested" and my password list is 496 MB and definitely more than 1495 passwords. What am I doing wrong? </p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: Fixed the script partially running, but now it does this:</p>

  <p>I don't think this is normal. Is there a way to fix this?</p>
