![]() ![]() ![]() We selected Burp Suite for this demonstration because it is more suitable for brute forcing a web application login page. There are several well-known open-source brute force tools, such as Hydra and Ncrack, that are great for brute-forcing access over many protocols such as SSH and RDP. Brute force attacks are not restricted to usernames and passwords such as demonstrated in this blog. The guesswork employed may use random words/strings or may involve a more targeted approach using existing knowledge of the target software, system, company, or person. In this blog, we’ll look at another type of pen testing attack: brute forcing a log in page. A brute force attack employs guessing an unknown variable repeatedly. ![]() Pentesters perform numerous types of attacks during a penetration test, including exploiting existing vulnerabilities, leveraging open/insecure services/protocols, and abusing weaknesses in access controls. This allows the pen tester to get a better understanding of what the target server expects in a web request, collect sensitive information the end user provides, and modify requests or responses to manipulate the end user or server into divulging sensitive data or providing access. Using Burp Suite’s Intercept capability, a pen tester can interrupt a connection between an end-user or device and the internet or target server. Burp Suite is classified as an Interception Proxy, or server capable of performing Man-In-the-Middle attacks. Professional security researchers and bounty hunters use this modular toolset to conduct system tests. But there are a multitude of tools that make this job easier. ![]()
