Brute Force Attack is the most widely known
password cracking method.
This attack simply tries to use every possible character combination as
a password. To recover a one-character password it is enough to try 26
combinations (‘a’ to ‘z’). It is guaranteed that you will find the
password.. but when? How long will it take? The two-character password
will require 26*26=676 combinations. The number of possible
combinations (and therefore required time) grows rapidly as the length
of the password increases and this method quickly becomes useless. Do
you ready to wait for two months while your 9-character password is
cracked? What about one hundred years for an 11-character password?
