a brute-force attack consists of an attacker submitting many passwords or passphrases with the hope of eventually guessing correctly. The attacker systematically...

In computer science, brute-force search or exhaustive search, also known as generate and test, is a very general problem-solving technique and algorithmic...

Look up brute force in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Brute Force or brute force may refer to: Brute force method or proof by exhaustion, a method of...

of the fastest known attack against an algorithm), because the security of all algorithms can be violated by brute-force attacks. Ideally, the lower-bound...

with a sliding computational cost, used to reduce vulnerability to brute-force attacks. PBKDF2 is part of RSA Laboratories' Public-Key Cryptography Standards...

(strengthened against differential cryptanalysis, but weakened against brute-force attacks), which was published as an official Federal Information Processing...

flaw that makes brute-force attacks against PIN-based WPS feasible to be performed on WPS-enabled Wi-Fi networks. A successful attack on WPS allows unauthorized...

into the hash function, creates that same hash. Though brute-force attacks (e.g. dictionary attacks) may be used to try to invert a hash function, they can...

block cipher must be secure, in addition to being robust against brute-force attacks. Most block cipher algorithms are classified as iterated block ciphers...

Written in the Python programming language, it is designed to prevent brute-force attacks. It is able to run on POSIX systems that have an interface to a packet-control...

the previous example. A de Bruijn sequence can be used to shorten a brute-force attack on a PIN-like code lock that does not have an "enter" key and accepts...

time, increases in processor speeds since the PDP-11 era have made brute-force attacks against crypt feasible, and advances in storage have rendered the...

longer—20 to 30 characters or more is typical—making some kinds of brute force attacks entirely impractical. Second, if well chosen, they will not be found...

are vulnerable to brute force attacks, every cryptographic hash function is inherently vulnerable to collisions using a birthday attack. Due to the birthday...

of a password against guessing or brute-force attacks. In its usual form, it estimates how many trials an attacker who does not have direct access to...

to compute a first or second preimage is through a brute-force attack. For an n-bit hash, this attack has a time complexity 2n, which is considered too...

attacks, pattern checking, and variations of common words, aim to optimize the number of guesses and are usually attempted before brute-force attacks...

addresses. IP address blocking is commonly used to protect against brute force attacks and to prevent access by a disruptive address. It can also be used...

environments. Hydra works by using different approaches to perform brute-force attacks in order to guess the right username and password combination. Hydra...

dramatically increase software's immunity to ROP attacks. Brute forcing Cloud Lambda may result in attacking several instances of the randomized software...
