CVE-2006-4068
pswd.js - Weak Hashing Scheme Enabling Offline Brute Force Attacks
Title source: llmExploitation Summary
EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2006-4068. PoCs published by Gianstefano Monni.
AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit demonstrates a weakness in the password hashing mechanism of pswd.js, allowing attackers to precompute password hashes for brute-force attacks. It processes a wordlist to find matching hashes for hardcoded usernames.
Description
The pswd.js script relies on the client to calculate whether a username and password match hard-coded hashed values for a server, and uses a hashing scheme that creates a large number of collisions, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct offline brute force attacks. NOTE: this script might also allow attackers to generate the server-side "secret" URL without determining the original password, but this possibility was not discussed by the original researcher.
