Brute Force Attack And How To Prevent Them

You do not exploit vulnerability in brute force attacks in the web application. You are instead trying out all the possible combinations and permutations of the victim's passwords and usernames to see if you get one.

  1. Brute Force Attack And How To Prevent Them Brute Force is a method of hacking to find user credentials by testing possible credentials. So you don't use any vulnerabilities on the web application in brute force attacks. Instead, you attempt to find out if you have any of the rights to all combinations and permutations of the victim's passwords and usernames. How Brute Force is Implemented: Attackers use a username and password feed tool—may be a user name and a list of passwords or a list of usernames and passwords.

  2. The tool subsequently sends the username and password combinations to the web application, where it checks the credentials and decides whether the credentials are correct or wrong/incorrect depending on the answer of the application. The username and password combination is considered correct if the login is successful. When the login failed, the combined credentials were incorrect. Categories of Brute Force Attack: ● Dictionary Attack ● Simple Brute Force Attack ● Hybrid Brute Force Attack ● Reverse Brute Force Attack ● Credential Recycling ● Rainbow Table Attack You can read more in detail about ​Brute Force Attack and How to Mitigate Them​ here:
