Description

This module attempts to enumerate users on the Synology NAS
by sending GET requests for the forgot password URL.
The Synology NAS will respond differently if a user is present or not.
These count as login attempts, and the default is 10 logins in 5min to
get a permanent block. Set delay accordingly to avoid this, as default
is permanent.
Vulnerable DSMs are:
DSM 6.1
DSM 6.0
DSM 5.2
