Break It: web authentication, and the five ways it goes wrong

Was wir gemacht haben

Warm-up A deliberately vulnerable login form, and fifteen minutes to find out what it trusts that it should not.

In pairs Session fixation, missing ownership checks, and a password reset that tells you slightly too much. Everything runs against the lab we provide — no other target, ever.

Walk-through We compare how each pair found each issue. The interesting part is rarely the bug; it is which question led to it.
