⚜️ Some hackers just go for the low-hanging fruit and try all the most common passwords, but there is one scenario where brute force works very well.
⚜️ Brute force attacks
Brute force attacks on login are rare, because they’re slow, rarely successful, and easily blocked. More common are offline brute force attacks on user account databases stolen via breaching online systems. Hackers can then literally try all possible passwords up to a certain length, or more commonly, try all previously discovered and known popular passwords.
