SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps security testers identify and exploit weak rate limiting in authentication workflows, enabling faster detection of brute-force and enumeration vulnerabilities.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-based testing methodology for login rate limits, OTP/2FA brute force, and credential stuffing.
  • Practical automation guidance using common tooling (ffuf, Hydra, nuclei) and real-world attack chains.
  • Risk-aware reporting and evidence hygiene for red-team and bug-hunter engagements.

Quick Start

Run a safe, lab-based assessment to map rate-limiting protections across a target's login and MFA endpoints, documenting any bypass potential and evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions about hunt-brute-force

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test for missing rate limits on an OTP or 2FA endpoint?

You test 2FA endpoints for missing rate limiting by applying a phase-based testing methodology to identify bypass potential during OTP brute force. This requires safe lab targets, a defined scope, and testing tools to execute the automated attack chain safely.

What is the best way to automate credential stuffing and login brute force testing?

The best way to automate credential stuffing is by following practical automation guidance using common tooling like ffuf, Hydra, and nuclei. This maps rate-limiting protections across authentication workflows to detect brute-force vulnerabilities faster.

Can I use this for red-team and bug-hunter engagements?

Yes, you can use it for red-team and bug-hunter engagements. It provides risk-aware reporting and evidence hygiene to document weak rate limiting in authentication workflows, ensuring your brute-force testing outputs are suitable for professional reporting.

Do I need defined scope and safe lab targets to test authentication rate limiting?

Yes, you need defined scope and safe lab targets to test authentication rate limiting. Identifying and exploiting weak rate limits in login, OTP, and password reset scenarios requires authorized boundaries to execute phase-based testing safely.

How does phase-based testing uncover enumeration vulnerabilities in web applications?

Phase-based testing uncovers enumeration vulnerabilities by systematically mapping rate-limiting protections across login and MFA endpoints. It identifies bypass potential and documents evidence for weak authentication workflows in web applications.

Why does password reset brute force require risk-aware reporting?

Password reset brute force requires risk-aware reporting because exploiting missing rate limits impacts live authentication workflows. Documenting evidence hygiene ensures your enumeration testing outputs remain professional and compliant for security engagements.
