Lost Users II

During this test, you will try to discover security flaws in the response message using the wrong user data.

  1. Send a request with the correct username and the wrong password.

    <login>
        <username>smartbear</username>
        <password>yesitdoes!</password>
    </login>
    
  2. For example, you get the following response:

    <loginresponse>
        <error>Wrong user name for the password</error>
    </loginresponse>
    

The response you have got reveals that the password was correct, so the attacker will use it when trying to find a valid username-password combination.
