Attack Prevention
Your confidential information is not as safe as you think due to the threat of Brute Force Attack, attackers from the internet will attempt the following ways to access your data. The longer the time an attacker has, the higher the chance of successfully combining the correct username and password. Therefore, identifying and detecting Brute Force Attacks quickly is crucial.
Attackers use social engineering to create cracking dictionaries containing usernames and passwords to improve attack efficiency.
Attackers list all possible account and password combinations and pair them one by one, considering password lengths, numbers, upper and lower case letters, and special characters. This method demands high-performance cracking algorithms and CPU/GPU power.
This method involves a combination of dictionary-based and exhaustion attacks.
