What is Brute Force Attack? | Learn to Crack Passwords using Brute Force Attack

In this presentation on what is brute force attack is, we learn to crack passwords using brute force attack. The basics of how a brute force attack operates are explained, after which we take a step-by-step approach to how the attack is done. We read about the harmful implications of a brute force attack and also learn some ways how we can protect our credentials against such attacks. Finally, we have a demo where we use penetration testing tools like Airgeddon to hack into a wireless router using a handshake capture file.
