Authenticated Penetration Testing
https://www.reddit.com/r/Pentesting/comments/spo2ff/authenticated_penetration_testing/

As with vulnerability scans, the tests (Penetration Testing) can either be authenticated or unauthenticated. An authenticated test runs as a registered and logged-in user on the internal network, whereas unauthenticated would be from an external source with no network privileges. https://phoenixnap.com/blog/vulnerability-scanning-vs-penetration-testing Let say there are multiple user roles on the target system. Do we need to request for all of them (tester id) and test or only one or two low privilege user and try privesc, IDOR, etc? submitted by /u/w0lfcat (https://www.reddit.com/user/w0lfcat)

John The Ripper: Incremental ASCII unreasonably effective?

I just used JTR for the first time to get the password to a ZIP file. After going through the wordlist it switched over to incremental ASCII, which to my understanding just bruteforces the password.

Now my password turned out to be 9 characters long, all lower case, starting with "a", and kind of sounding like a valid word, but I had no idea beforehand what kind of characters would be used and how long it was, so I just let it go on "automatic".

If we assume 26 lowercase letters, 26 uppercase, 10 digits and a couple for punctuation, we get ~70 possible characters. 70^9 = 4*10^16. My terminal was showing 16 000 Kp/s per second, which I understand to be Kilopasswords per second. Combine the two and you obtain almost exactly 80 years to go through all possible 9 character ASCII combinations.

Here's the surprising part: JTR found the password in one hour. What's going on here? Did I totally misunderstand what Kp/s means? Am I really bad at math? Is JTR magic? DId I just get insanely lucky?

If we limit ourselves to lowercase letters the time falls back to a reasonable ~100 hours, if we assume we try combinations that start with "a" first down to ~4, but that's not what it seemed to be doing, it showed it was trying upper case letters, digits and punctuation signs as well.
