Hi friends,
This time I will give you knowledge about most powerful hacking attack "Bruteforce attack".
Brute force cracking
Brute force (also known as brute force cracking) is a trial and error method used by application programs to decode encrypted data such as passwords or Data Encryption Standard (DES) keys, through exhaustive effort (using brute force) rather than employing intellectual strategies. Just as a criminal might break into, or "crack" a safe by trying many possible combinations, a brute force cracking application proceeds through all possible combinations of legal characters in sequence. Brute force is considered to be an infallible, although time-consuming, approach.
In simple words It's try and error method with planning.
How to prevent by brute-force attack
- Password Length.
- Password Complexity.
- Limit Login Attempts.
- Modifying .htaccess file.
- Using Captcha.
- Two Factor Authentication.
