credential-attack
Password spray methodology for bug bounty — when to do it vs web-vuln hunting, the wordlist-gen + breach-check + osint-employees + spray pipeline, mode selection (http-form / oauth / o365 / okta), rate-limit + lockout tactics, BBP legal guardrails, success detection, and the spray → authenticated /hunt chain pattern. Use when assessing whether credential attack is worth running on a target, picking the right mode, or recovering from common pitfalls.

# CREDENTIAL ATTACK PIPELINE
Real-world initial-access vector. Verizon DBIR consistently ranks Stolen Credentials in the top 3 incident types. Most BB hunters skip this because they only try `rockyou.txt` and get rate-limited.
**Core principle:** humans pick lazy passwords. `{CompanyName}{Year}!`, `{ProductName}{Season}`, `{City}123`. Harvesting company-specific vocabulary (product names, office cities, internal project codes) before spraying is what makes the hit-rate go from 0.01% to 1%+.
This skill covers WHEN to use credential attack, HOW to chain the 4 commands, and the legal/operational guardrails.

## WHEN TO RUN CREDENTIAL ATTACK
Credential attack is a **parallel branch** to `/hunt`, not a replacement. Both come after `/recon`:
