Incidentally the architecture discussed is fairly common on some levels, but it's interesting that twisted python gets a mention. It's not clear how the author intends to use twisted - as an agent it would be sufficient for multi-protocol brute force agents given twisted's protocol support. Likewise, the architecture described naturally appears to be extendable to multi-protocol regardless - paramiko[1] springs to mind as an alternative and possibly superior SSH implementation, but it's also worth considering scapy[2] which could be enough to implement arbitrary protocols.
