Episode 86: Threats to IAM: Replay, Pass-the-Hash, Credential Stuffing

Identity systems are high-value targets, and attackers use increasingly sophisticated techniques to exploit them. This episode examines key IAM-related attack vectors, including replay attacks, pass-the-hash, credential stuffing, brute-force, and phishing-based compromise. We explain how these attacks work, the conditions that enable them, and the defenses needed to detect and prevent them. Controls discussed include session binding, MFA, rate limiting, password hygiene, and advanced behavioral analytics. CISSPs must understand not just how to build IAM systems, but how to defend them against persistent and evolving threats.
