Hi,

Thanks for that but the ever changing realm is as follows.....

When a connection is established to the server and you are presented with a
login prompt the realm is different everytime. Its almost like the server
has / is using /dev/random to assign the realm so its never the same.

                I am not sure what do you mean by "ever changing realm", but
you can adapt the following
                perl code to brute force your way in. You need to install
Crypt::SSLeay module,
                dictionary, a loop and ... pretty much it...

                #!/usr/bin/perl -w
                use LWP::UserAgent;

                my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
                my $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST =>
'https://server.domain.com/');
                $req->authorization_basic('foo', 'bar');
                $res = $ua->request($req);
                ($res->is_success)? print $res->content, "\n" : print
$res->status_line, "\n";
