In this video, we cover Lab #1 in the Authentication module of the Web Security Academy. This lab is vulnerable to username enumeration and password brute-force attacks. It has an account with a predictable username and password, which can be found in the following wordlists:
Candidate usernames: https://portswigger.net/web-security/authentication/auth-lab-usernames
Candidate passwords: https://portswigger.net/web-security/authentication/auth-lab-passwords
To solve the lab, we enumerate a valid username, brute-force this user's password, then access their account page.
