Overview
Dictionary Attack focuses on a login form where weak passwords make account access easier to guess.
This lab looks at authentication from the password-strength side, where login security depends on policy, rate limiting, monitoring, and account protection controls working together.
Security Impact
Weak passwords can lead to unauthorized account access, credential stuffing exposure, privilege abuse, and compromise of data connected to the affected account.
Vulnerability Scope
Login forms, admin panels, default accounts, internal tools, and staging environments are exposed when weak passwords meet missing rate limits or lockout protections.
Lab Focus
The lab focuses on authentication resilience, why predictable passwords are dangerous, and how login hardening controls reduce real account takeover risk.
