Login Bypass

Bypass regular login

If you find a login page, here you can find some techniques to try to bypass it:

• Check for comments inside the page (scroll down and to the right?)

• Check if you can directly access the restricted pages

• Check to not send the parameters (do not send any or only 1)

• Check the PHP comparisons error: user[]=a&pwd=b , user=a&pwd[]=b , user[]=a&pwd[]=b

• Check credentials:

  • Default credentials **of the technology/platform used

  • Common combinations (root, admin, password, name of the tech, default user with one of these passwords).

  • Create a dictionary using Cewl, add the default username and password (if there is) and try to brute-force it using all the words as usernames and password

  • Brute-force using a bigger dictionary (Brute force)
