The${url}variable is replaced by the actual website URL.--usernames: This option specifies the usernames that will be used to attempt a login. The${username|path-to-usernames-txt}variable is replaced by either a single username or the path to a file containing multiple usernames.--passwords: This option specifies the passwords that will be used in combination with the usernames to attempt a login. The${path-to-passwords-txt}variable is replaced by the path to a file containing multiple passwords.--threads: This option specifies the number of parallel requests that will be made during the scan. The${20}variable is replaced by the number 20, indicating that 20 parallel requests will be made.
