Authentication
Test authentication mechanisms including login security, token handling, 2FA, CAPTCHA, and bot detection.
Techniques
| Type | Key Vectors |
|---|---|
| Auth Bypass | Default credentials, logic flaws, response manipulation |
| ADFS/SAML | Golden SAML, token signing cert theft, assertion manipulation, SAML wrapping |
| JWT | Algorithm confusion, key injection, claim tampering, token forging |
| OAuth | Redirect manipulation, CSRF, token leakage, scope abuse |
| Password | Brute force, credential stuffing, password policy bypass |
| 2FA Bypass | Response manipulation, direct endpoint access, code reuse, race conditions |
| CAPTCHA Bypass | Missing server validation, token reuse, OCR, parameter manipulation |
| Bot Detection | Behavioral biometrics simulation, fingerprint randomization, stealth mode |
