Brute Force Attack

A brute force attack is a method used by hackers to gain unauthorized access to a system, network, or website by systematically trying numerous password combinations until the correct one is found. This attack involves automated software or scripts that generate and test a large number of possible passwords, often using dictionaries, common phrases, or random character sequences. The goal of a brute force attack is to exploit weak or easily guessable passwords in order to breach security defenses and gain entry to sensitive information or resources.
