Hello everyone!
I hope you're all doing well and enjoying your learning journey in the Application Security course. Today, I wanted to discuss an important topic with you all - Broken Authentication.
Broken authentication occurs when an unauthorized user gains access to a system using various methods such as credential stuffing, brute force, default passwords, or exposed session IDs in the URL.
Credential stuffing, also known as password reuse, happens when a set of credentials from another application or a data breach is used to gain access to a system. This is why it's crucial to avoid using the same passwords across different platforms.
Brute force attacks involve an automated process where an attacker tries to guess the username and/or password of a system. They use files containing common usernames and passwords to exploit weak user accounts.
Default passwords are another vulnerability. These are passwords that are intended for initial installation, and many vendors recommend changing them before deploying a system. Attackers often try known default passwords to gain unauthorized access.
Exposing session IDs in the URL is also a risk. Session IDs are embedded in the URL for web applications, and if they are exposed, they can end up in places like proxy logs, server logs, and browser history.
To mitigate the risks of broken authentication, it's recommended to use multi-factor authentication (MFA) to prevent unauthorized users from using stolen credentials. CAPTCHAs can also be used to prevent automated tools from attacking websites. Monitoring failed login attempts and implementing temporary blockages can help prevent brute force logins.
I hope this overview helps you understand the concept of broken authentication better. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don't hesitate to ask. Keep up the great work, and happy learning!
