# Bypassing Authentication with Forced Browsing
## When to Use
- During authorized penetration tests to discover hidden or unprotected administrative pages
- When testing whether authentication is consistently enforced across all application endpoints
- For identifying backup files, configuration files, and debug interfaces left exposed in production
- When assessing access control on API endpoints that should require authentication
- During security audits to validate that all sensitive resources enforce session validation
## Prerequisites
- **Authorization**: Written penetration testing agreement covering directory enumeration
- **ffuf**: Fast web fuzzer (`go install github.com/ffuf/ffuf/v2@latest`)
