User Enumeration using WPScan

One method of gaining access to an account is to brute force usernames and passwords. However, this attempt will not be successful if we do not have a valid username. In order to find valid usernames, we can use WPScan to enumerate users.

In the command line, type: wpscan –url <targeturl> –enumerate u.

In the above example, the target URL is team5.pentest.id.

Give it a few moments and it will list out the valid users. In this case, user5 and adminteam5.
