BruteForcing?

('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) This is more of a general brute forcing question, but one which I could use some assistance.

I am attempting to brute force some telnet sessions (Cisco Routers - CISCO IOS 12.2 and IOS 12.3(8), Cisco 1721 router). When telnet'ing in, it only prompts me for a PW (Not a username). It has a 3 attempts disconnect, so I get disconnected and have to reconnect.

My question is:
How and what tool should I use to try and brute force (dictionary attack) this session?
I have tried Hydra, but when I get disconnected (after 3 attempts), it tells me it is "finished". Not sure if there is a way to make it reconnect. Is there a better tool or other techniques that would work better?

Second question: Brute forcing also, but against WebPages. For example, a Cisco 3000 VPN Concentrator, I have the webpage asking for username/password. How would I attempt to dictionary attack this?

Thanks,
Sparky
