Account Takeover Methodology
1.I have added a session hijacking method in broken authentication and session management.
2.If you find that on target.
3.Try anyway to steal cookies on that target.
4.Here I am saying look for xss .
5.If you find xss you can steal the cookies of victim and using session hijacking you can takeover the account of victim.
So if you find that target have weak password policy, try to go for no rate limit attacks in poc shows by creating very weak password of your account.
(May or may not be accepted)
1.Go to password reset funtion.
2.Enter email and intercept the request.
3.Change host header to some other host i.e,
Host:target.com
Host:attacker.com
also try to add some headers without changing host like
X-Forwarded-Host: evil.com
Referrer: https://evil.com
4.Forward this if you find that in next request attacker.com means you managed to successfully steal the token. :)
