I wrote a NSE script that finds the existing user and admin login pages in
a website.

Exposing the admin login page is not a good practice and it can lead to
several attacks like brute force, sqli and etc.

Even if attacker manages to find the admin username and password, if he
can't find the admin login page its of no use. But exposing them to the
outside world is really a bad idea. Few websites use the common user login
pages for logging in as admin also. That's why I wrote a script that finds
the user login pages also.

I made a PR on #848 <https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/848> regarding the
same. I worked on it for more than 15 hrs, made 23 commits, tested it
thoroughly against various websites and then only I made this PR #848
<https://github.com/nmap/nmap/pull/848>.

To the best of my knowledge this NSE script is fully functional, error free
and is ready for a merge.

Best regards,
Rewanth.
