# Registration Vulnerabilities

## Takeover

### Duplicate Registration

* Try to generate using an existing username
* Check varying the email:
  * uppsercase
  * +1@
  * add some some in the email
  * special characters in the email name \(%00, %09, %20\)
  * Put black characters after the email: `test@test.com                    a`
  * victim@gmail.com@attacker.com
  * victim@attacker.com@gmail.com

### Username Enumeration

Check if you can figure out when a username has already been registered inside the application.

### Password Policy

In that case you may try to bruteforce credentials.
