Login Recorder: Record the login sequence of your application

For web applications with a login module, Beagle Security allows you to submit a recording of the login sequence in order to improve the efficiency of the automated penetration tests. To record the login sequence of an application, you'll have to first download the Beagle Login Recorder extension from the application settings. 


Please note that providing user credentials for CMS websites may alter data on your website during testing. 



A few points to note while recording a login sequence

  • Do not use the login credentials of an admin account. It is advised to create a separate user account specifically for the automated penetration testing purpose on Beagle Security. 
  • It is recommended to record an application's login sequence in incognito mode 


Note: Extensions are not available by default in incognito mode. You'll have to enable extensions by going to More tools > Extensions)


  • After completing the login sequence, you don't have to navigate around the specific web application- you can stop the recording and submit it as soon as you're logged in to the application.
