Broken Auth

Broken Authentication
[CRITICAL]

Weak credentials, no rate limiting, predictable sequential session tokens, no lockout policy, and session fixation vulnerabilities.

> Show hints
  • [1] Login with admin/admin — no lockout after failed attempts
  • [2] Session tokens are sequential: SESS_ADMIN_001, SESS_USER_002, etc.
  • [3] Try guessing tokens in the session hijack panel
  • [4] Run the brute force simulator — no rate limiting stops it

[1] Weak Credential Login

No lockout. No rate limiting. Weak default credentials. Plaintext comparison.

[2] Session Token Hijack

Tokens are sequential and predictable. Guess a valid token to hijack a session.

[3] Brute Force Simulator

No rate limiting or lockout. Simulates dictionary attack against admin account.
