The Complete Ethical Hacking Bootcamp: Beginner To Advanced - Brute Force Attacks with BurpSuite

The video tutorial covers the process of brute forcing usernames and passwords on websites using Burp Suite. It begins with setting up the OWASP machine and configuring Burp Suite as a proxy. The instructor demonstrates creating user and password lists, executing a brute force attack, and analyzing server responses to identify valid credentials. The tutorial concludes with a preview of using Hydra for faster brute force attacks.

What is the primary purpose of a brute force attack?

• To prevent unauthorized access to a system

• To monitor network traffic for suspicious activity

• To guess the correct username and password by trying all possible combinations

• To encrypt data for secure transmission

Which tool is used as a proxy in the setup process?

• Metasploit

• Nmap

• Burp Suite

• Wireshark

What is the first step in preparing for a brute force attack?

• Creating a user list and password list

• Disabling firewall settings

• Scanning the network for open ports

• Encrypting the login page

What type of HTTP request is used to send login credentials?

• GET request

• POST request

• PUT request

• DELETE request

What is the purpose of turning on the intercept in Burp Suite?

• To encrypt outgoing data

• To disable the login page

• To block all incoming traffic

• To capture and analyze HTTP requests

Which attack type is used for brute forcing two inputs simultaneously?

• Sniper

• Pitchfork

• Cluster Bomb

• Battering Ram

What is the purpose of the grep match option in Burp Suite?

• To monitor network traffic

• To find specific strings in server responses

• To encrypt the login credentials

• To block unauthorized access

What indicates a successful brute force attack in the server response?

• Presence of 'Access Denied' message

• Absence of 'Wrong username or password' message

• Absence of 'Server Error' message

• Presence of 'Login Successful' message

What is the advantage of using Hydra over Burp Suite for brute force attacks?

• Hydra is more secure

• Hydra is free

• Hydra is more user-friendly

• Hydra is faster

What should be used for real-life brute force attacks to increase success chances?

• Encrypted lists of usernames and passwords

• Randomly generated usernames and passwords

• Larger and more probable lists of usernames and passwords

• Smaller lists of usernames and passwords
