This attack type is useful for fuzzing a number of request parameters individually for common vulnerabilities or for performing a brute-force attack against a single account. ### Battering Ram This uses a single set of payloads. It will place the payload into all of the defined payload positions at the same time.\ I have not found this to be useful during network penetration tests. ### Pitckfork This attack runs through all payload sets simultaneously, and places one payload into each position. This attack is great when performing attacks such as credential stuffing against a login form. ### Cluster bomb This attack iterates through each payload set in turn, so that all permutations of payload combinations are tested. This attack is great when targeting several accounts for a brute-force attack or when performing password spraying against an org. ### References {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://ttp.parzival.sh/pentesting/web-applications/tooling/burp-suite/intruder_attack_types.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
