To test for brute force vulnerabilities, you analyze login endpoints to detect missing or ineffective rate limiting that allows automated credential stuffing. This process evaluates whether HTTP response codes indicate protection against repeated login attempts.

Rate limiting prevents credential stuffing by restricting the number of allowed login attempts within a specific timeframe. Evaluating its effectiveness involves checking HTTP response codes to see if automated brute force requests are successfully blocked.

Yes, you can detect OTP and 2FA brute force vulnerabilities using curl to send automated requests and analyze HTTP response codes. This verifies if rate limiting mechanisms are properly applied to multi-factor authentication endpoints.

HTTP response codes indicating a brute force vulnerability typically show continuous successful processing of repeated requests instead of error codes signaling rate limiting. Analyzing these codes during automated login attempts confirms rate limiting absence.

Yes, curl is required as a dependency to send HTTP requests and analyze server responses when evaluating rate limiting. Knowledge of HTTP response codes is also necessary to determine brute force vulnerability presence.
