By interacting with an authentication mechanism and studying responses, a tester may be able to collect a set of valid usernames. Once valid accounts have been identified, testers can attempt to brute-force passwords. This recipe explains how Burp Suite Repeater can be used to collect a list of valid usernames via the username enumeration attack.

Getting ready
