During an assessment, you discover underground posts containing stolen credentials. Which technique best confirms authenticity of the leaked information?
Perform direct remote attempts against each user entry
Conduct a wordlist-based check using an offline cracking tool
Paste everything into a local document and depend on the metadata
Analyzing the leaked data with offline tools and a known dictionary is a solid way to verify that the records are legitimate. Conducting online login attempts can cause lockouts or detection, and relying on unverified statements or file metadata does not adequately validate the data.
