## Exploit

[https://owasp.org/www-project-web-security-testing-guide/stable/4-Web_Application_Security_Testing/04-Authentication_Testing/07-Testing_for_Weak_Password_Policy](OWASP: Testing for weak password policy)

1. Found an email in a hidden `<input>` tag in the **Recover Password** page: `webmaster@borntosec.com`
1. Got a list of common passwords to test from [https://github.com/duyet/bruteforce-database/blob/master/38650-password-sktorrent.txt](here)
1. Made a `brute_force.bash` script to brute force the login

If you're getting false positives with `brute_force.bash` use a smaller `BATCH_SIZE`.

## Fix

- 2FA
- Strong password policy
- Forbid password reuse
- Password aging
