💡 Credential Stuffing at Scale
Credential stuffing uses stolen username-password pairs from data breaches to attempt logins across many websites. Since users frequently reuse passwords, these automated attacks achieve success rates of 0.1-2%, which translates to thousands of compromised accounts from millions of attempts.
💡 Open Source Intelligence Methods
OSINT techniques leverage publicly available information for security research. DNS records, WHOIS data, certificate transparency logs, social media, and code repositories all provide valuable intelligence for threat analysis without requiring special access or tools.
