Brute force attacks are notoriously difficult to prevent since they take advantage of a computer’s ability to repeat many repetitive tasks quickly and easily. Typically, Brute force attacks can be divided into five main types, each designed to increase the chances of a successful login. These include Simple Brute Force Attacks, Dictionary Attacks, Hybrid Brute Force Attacks, Reverse Brute Force Attacks

A simple brute-force attack involves rapidly trying every possible combination of letters, numbers, and symbols to crack a password. Attackers can use software to automate this process, which makes it easier and faster.

A dictionary attack involves using a list of potential passwords to guess the correct one. Attackers can use a pre-built dictionary with common passwords, such as “password” or “123456”. They can customize the dictionary to include relevant terms specific to the target victim.
