Brute Force Attack (Bfa)
| A brute force attack is a type of hacking technique that relies on trial and error to compromise passwords, encryption keys, and login credentials. This type of attack is often used by hackers when they have obtained a list of user names and passwords, but they are not sure which ones will work. In a brute force attack, the hacker will try every possible combination of characters until they find the correct one. This can be a very time-consuming process, but it is often the only way to gain access to a system if the hacker does not have any other information about it. |
