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 |
Tools
PasswordGenerator (tools/password_generator.py):
from tools.password_generator import generate_password
password = generate_password(hint_text="8-16 chars, uppercase, numbers")
CredentialManager (tools/credential_manager.py):
from tools.credential_manager import CredentialManager
mgr = CredentialManager()
mgr.store_credential(target="example.com", username="test", password="pass")
Workflow
- Analyze auth implementation (forms, tokens, 2FA, CAPTCHA)
- Test bypass vectors per technique type
- Use Playwright MCP with human-like behavior (typing 80-200ms, random pauses)
- Capture evidence (screenshots, network logs, tokens)
- Document findings with PoC scripts
