Hello,

concerning the nmap example you're talking about, the wrappers rely on
a given version of nmap. Nmap NSE brute has user and password lists
installed in nselib/data/{passwords,usernames}.lst.

Older versions of nmap were directly using a library called
unpwdb.lua. Newest releases use Patrik Karlsson's great brute.lua
library. This might explain why you have a working brute NSE without
the "brute.lua" library.

So, if I get your questions correctly, a starting point would be to
issue a simple nmap -V to know the installed version.

Regards
