It’s often automated, using software that can generate and test millions of passwords per second. These attacks are commonly applied to hack passwords, break into accounts, crack encryption, or access restricted networks. Key techniques include dictionary attacks, credential stuffing, and hybrid brute force attacks, each taking advantage of weak passwords or predictable credentials. Effective security measures—like strong passwords, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and limiting login attempts—are crucial to defending against brute force methods. Brute force is often the go-to method for attackers due to its simplicity, but its success relies heavily on a target's defense mechanisms.
thank you
