login-checker-vpn

The login-checker-vpn tool is designed to validate login functionalities and identify the presence of two-factor authentication (2FA) on websites within automated security workflows. By leveraging this tool, organizations can streamline the testing of web application access controls and enhance their security posture.

Ideal Use Cases & Fit​

This tool excels in scenarios where web applications require user authentication, particularly for assessing the reliability of login mechanisms and 2FA implementations. It is particularly effective when testing multiple websites in bulk using a structured input file containing URLs along with corresponding usernames and passwords. However, it is not suitable for realistic phishing simulations or environments where the login page structure varies significantly.

Value in Workflows​

In security workflows, the login-checker-vpn tool adds significant value during the reconnaissance phase, helping security teams quickly ascertain the security posture of login interfaces. Its automated approach to testing allows for the immediate identification of vulnerabilities, facilitating timely responses and informed security decisions in subsequent workflow phases.

Input Data​

The tool expects an input file formatted as newline-separated entries, with each entry containing a URL, username, and password in the following structure:

  • '<URL>|<username>|<password>'

For example:

https://example.com/login|testuser|testpass
https://example.org/login|testuser|testpass

This format ensures systematic and efficient processing of authentication attempts against multiple endpoints.

Configuration​

  • target: Specifies the input file containing the URLs, usernames, and passwords used for login checks.
  • timeout: Sets the maximum time (in seconds) allowed for the tool to run before it terminates, ensuring the workflow remains efficient.

By configuring these parameters, workflow builders can tailor the login-checker-vpn tool to meet specific testing requirements and optimize performance based on the operational context.
