What is the primary goal of the Broken Authentication Testing skill?

The primary goal is to provide structured techniques for identifying and exploiting weaknesses in authentication and session management to help secure applications against identity theft.

Can I use this skill to test API security?

Yes, it specifically includes phases for testing token-based authentication (like JWT) and analyzing API responses for credential enumeration.

Does it cover Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)?

It provides comprehensive testing for MFA, including OTP brute-forcing, response manipulation, and enrollment bypass techniques.

Does this skill require third-party tools?

Yes, for optimal results, it recommends using tools like Burp Suite, Hydra, or custom wordlists alongside the methodologies provided in the skill.

Is this skill suitable for beginners in security?

While it provides detailed workflows, it assumes a prerequisite knowledge of the HTTP protocol, session mechanisms, and basic web security concepts.
