User enumeration can be use for brute-force techniques to either guess or confirm valid users in a system. User enumeration is often a web application vulnerability, though it can also be found in any system that requires user authentication.
An enumeration attack allows a hacker to check whether a name exists in the database. For example, to set up a brute-force attack, rather than searching through login and password pairs, all they need is a matching password for a verified user name, saving time and effort.
The phrase “username harvesting” refers to a vulnerability that when exploited allows people or programs interacting with an application to determine what a valid username is vs an invalid username.
