From man ssh:
Quote:
The methods available for authentication are: GSSAPI-based authentication, host-based authentication, public key authentication, chal‐
lenge-response authentication, and password authentication. Authentication methods are tried in the order specified above, though
protocol 2 has a configuration option to change the default order: PreferredAuthentications.
If you can't accept any of the "automated" authentications, falling back to password auth., ssh will read that from /dev/tty and not from stdin, so redirection will not work. You'll have to enter it from the keyboard interactively.

Have you tried expect?

Using a third party brute-forcing utility to cram plaintext passwords into ssh is not secure in any meaning of the word.

"interactive password authentication" means "password typed by a human being in realtime authentication" and no substitutes for humans are acceptable.
