What is a Brute Force Attack?

 

A brute force attack is a trial-and-error method using a repetitive method to obtain sensitive information like usernames, passwords, or PINs. Automated software is used by criminals to generate numerous consecutive guesses to crack encrypted data and breach security, or by security analysts to test an organization’s network defenses.

Dataplugs Brute Force 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:

Brute Force Attack ProtectionDictionary-based attack
Attackers use social engineering to create cracking dictionaries containing usernames and passwords to improve attack efficiency.
Brute Force Attack ProtectionCombined attack
This method involves a combination of dictionary-based and exhaustion attacks.
Brute Force Attack ProtectionExhaustion attack
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.

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.
