Username enumeration via response timing

Roycerolls | Last updated: Oct 08, 2021 12:31PM UTC

The final step of the LAB I am not getting the 302 response in practical lab. Is anything I am missing. On the "Payloads" tab, add the list of numbers in payload set 1 and add the list of passwords to payload set 2. Start the attack. When the attack is finished, find the response with a 302 status. Make a note of this password.

I think something is wrong for the practical lab. Even if I directly input the username: arizona and password: robert into the login. I still got error message "invalid username/password".

Hi Lee, Have you checked the video I linked above to check the steps?

Hi Team, I have am facing the same issue of not getting 302 http response code while bruteforcing password. I have checked the highlighted video above as well along with similar solutions on youtube but none of them solved my issue. I have spend like around 4 hours on this and my technical steps look fine, I feel there is some problem with this lab which portswigger team need to look into.

Hi Hassan, I have just run through this lab and been able to solve it using the solution provided so it does appear to be working as expected. Are you able to share some specific details of how you are trying to solve this lab so that we can take a look? It might be useful to see how you have setup the Intruder attacks that you are running in Step 10 and Step 14 so that we can see exactly what you are doing. If it is easier to provide this information via email (in terms of supplying screenshots) then please feel free to send us an email at support@portswigger.net.

hi, maybe some 'smart' guy around is messing up with the lab.. Im facing the same issue as previously reported, it seems it is not possible to solve the last step.

Hi Jules, Just to confirm, the lab instance that you obtain will be unique to you so unless you share your unique URL no one will be working on the same lab instance as you (essentially, each lab instance will be generated from a base configuration). I have just run through this lab and been able to solve it using the solution provided so it does appear to be working as expected. Are you able to share some detailed steps of how you are attempting to solve this lab so that we can take a look at this for you? If you want to email us with some screenshots then please feel free to do so via the support@portswigger.net email address.

Hi guys :) Need a bit of help with this lab. I followed the given steps in the tutorial & video, I succeed to get my username, but I can't get a 302 response with the password payload... Anyone can help ?

Hi Yann, Are you using Burp Professional or Burp Community when you carry out this lab?
