Hello and welcome to this tutorial.
This is a total part for dictionary attack.
Now, what is this study attack?
This attack is a technique or method used to bridge the computer security of a password protected machine
or server.
Additionally, attack attempts to defeat an authentication mechanism by systematically entering each
world, in addition as a password, are trying to determine the decryption of an encrypted message or
document.
Dictionary attacks are often successful because many users and businesses use ordinary words as passwords.
These ordinary words are easily found in ordinary, such as an English dictionary.
Now, what are the limitations of this attack?
There are three main limitations of a dictionary attack.
First one is delayed response.
The second is account locking and the third is use of multiple word password.
Frosties delayed response, a slightly delayed response from the server to prevent the hacker or spammers
from checking multiple passwords within a short period of time.
Second is account locking, locking in account after several unsuccessful attempts.
For example, locking after three or five unsuccessful attempts prevents a hacker or spammer from checking
multiple passwords to login.
And the last limitation is dictionary attacks are not effective against systems that may use multiple
words as password.
And there are some similarities between dictionary and brute force attack.
Both dictionary and brute force attack are guessing adex.
They are not directly looking for a flaw or bypass either can be online or offline attack, you can
easily find a password dictionary online ranging from one M.B to 97 GB.
So that's it for the to part.
See you in the practical session.
