Research direction
The issue reporter pastes terminal output from running the http basic digest bruteforce module, which repeatedly reports that the target resource is not protected, even after setting usernames and passwords files. The root cause might be in how the module checks for authentication or how the target endpoint is probed. Investigate the module source code at routersploit/creds/generic/http basic digest bruteforce.py and related authentication detection logic. Reproduce with a known test server. Determine if the issue is a false negative or a configuration error.
