Credential Stuffing 2.0 : The Use of Proxies, CAPTCHA Bypassing , Cloud Flare Security, and GUI Tools
Hope You visited the previous article which covers all basic stuff on credential stuffing or else you can check it out here:
Welcome to the new age of cyber attacks, where hackers have taken credential stuffing to the next level. Meet Credential Stuffing 2.0, where the use of proxies, CAPTCHA bypassing, CloudFlare security Bypass, and GUI tools have become the norm. Gone are the days of simple brute force attacks, now hackers have access to advanced methodologies that automate the process and increase the chances of success. In this article, we’ll take a deep dive into the inner workings of Credential Stuffing 2.0, uncovering how these tools are used to infiltrate even the most secure of systems. Brace yourself for a high-tech journey into the dark world of hacking.
Usage of Proxies
Proxies play a significant role in credential stuffing attacks by allowing attackers to mask their IP address and location while making requests. This makes it more difficult for the targeted organization to trace the source of the attack and block the IP address.
When an attacker uses a proxy, they can rotate through different IP addresses and locations, making it difficult for the targeted organization to detect and block the attack. This allows the attacker to continue trying different login credentials without being detected or blocked.
Proxies also allow attackers to conduct a distributed attack, where they can use multiple IP addresses and locations to access the targeted website or service. This allows the attacker to use a large number of login credentials at once, making it more likely for them to find a set of valid credentials.
Additionally, attackers may use a proxy to anonymize themselves, this way the targeted organization would not be able to trace back the initiation of the attack and take legal action if needed.
