Brute force directories

Using ffuf

Login & Authentication brute force

HTTP Basic Authorization Header Brute Force

Basic authorization is..basic. A username and a password separated by a colon is then encoded in Base64. The screenshot below demonstrate the credentials admin:admin being sent through the Authorization header of an HTTP request.

ProTip: You can/should always test first by using a set of valid credentials and check if it returns it valid.

HTTP Post form Brute Force

Most of the time, authentication is made via a form posted to the web server. You can try to brute force it but watch out for CSRF. Try sending the same request twice using burp.
