AppleScripts not what you're after on this one...
What are you talking about, Cipher? There's nothing in the request that can't be done in a few of lines of AppleScript, especially if it involves interacting with another application. It's a lot easier to have AppleScript 'tell application x' to do something than it is to write C++ code to do the same thing. C++ would probably be faster for cracking passwords, but that's not to say that AppleScript can't do it.
Even if the application doesn't support AppleEvents (which would be mandatory for a C++-based solution) you can use ApplesScript with something like AutoType or KeyQuencer to emulate keyboard input.
A few repeat loops in a script and you're all set.
