A typo

[pmal...@canoemail.com]

To the Ports Keeper:

I've notice a typo in the Hydra-2.2_1 port description on the
following page:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=attack&stype=all&release=5.2-RELEASE%2Fi386

***********
hydra-2.2_1
Bruce Force Attack Utility working on multiple network services
Maintained by: lle...@argosnet.com
Description : Sources : Package : Changes : Download
***********

Bruce force should read BRUTE force.

Thanks for the corrections.

Please submit a PR if someone doesn't get to this straight away.

That's 5.2-RELEASE, which is old, and as Simon noted, it was fixed
after that came out.

Kris and Simon:

Thank you for your quick response yet if you look here, under Hydra,
you will see that it reads Bruce force not Brute force.

This is most likely NOT a typo. googling for "bruce force" (including
double quotes) turns up tons of password cracking stuff. It appears to
be a jargon or technical term. Why not ask the creator/maintainer of the
port?
