Web App Test

In my first test, I worked with my manager. It was a web test and one that was pretty solid. However one fun thing was something I saw in a presentation at BSides Baltimore last week. A bad password policy may be a low finding. A lack of bad auth attempt lockout feature may be a low finding. A username enumeration may be a low finding. However, if a site has all three? That is a critical finding. If you can enumerate a list of valid usernames (just check LinkedIn for names and figure out the username format) and then throw the top 1000 passwords against a list of usernames, you’ll get in.

Some other stuff too, but also wrote the report and sent it in. Looking forward to the next one!
