How to do simple brute force attack with burp suite
What is brute force attack? brute force is a kind of password based attack. normally attacker checks each and every possible combination until reaching the expected output. so an attacker should check the huge amount of data but the normal human cannot do this kind of things. that's why we must move on some predefine tools to do this kind of attacks. work through this is the sample login page. we are going to attack this page and get the login credentials.(note: this is a basic login form it does not have any prevention mechanism for brute force attack.) let's try any value on this form and capture the data packet for analyzing. after analyzed we can say these data packets have username and password, which we entered previously. so we have to forward this data packet to intruder tab (right click and select intruder option). now go to the intruder and mark the target variables which are carrying username and password. The below figure shows that. Note:
