+## Configuration
+
+You can change the number of threads used with the environment variable
+`BRUTE_FORCE_THREADS`.
+
+Inside the program, via the Config struct, you can manually override the thread
+count or change how often this library checks if a thread should stop. You can
+also set a timeout via the `brute_force_with_timeout` function.
