Username enumeration via different responses
Introduction
This lab is vulnerable to username enumeration and password brute-force attacks. It has an account with a predictable username and password, which can be found in the following wordlists:
Candiate Username List: https://portswigger.net/web-security/authentication/auth-lab-usernames Candiate Password List: https://portswigger.net/web-security/authentication/auth-lab-passwords
To solve the lab, enumerate a valid username, brute-force this user’s password, then access their account page.
Solution
Entering some random username and password resulted in the response says that Username is Invalid
Now the username wordlist we do have, Intercepted the above request in burp, sent it to intruder, then bruteforced the username
field and guess what we found the correct username which is application
It isn’t finished here and you can observe the above response where it is says Incorrect password
Repeater the same method again but for the password field with username as application
and bruteforced the password field and found the field password as computer
Sometimes the lab may get solved automatically and here it didn’t go that way.. Where I need to login with the found username and password then lab is solved
