BruteForce Attack :
Any password can be cracked using Brute-force attack. Brute-force attacks try every possible combinations of numbers, letters and special characters
until the right password is match. Brute-force attacks can take very
long time depending upon the complexity of the password. The cracking
time is determined by the speed of computer and complexity of the password.
Countermeasure:
Use long and complex passwords.
Try to use combination of upper and lowercase letters along with
numbers. Brute-force attack will take hundreds or even thousands of
years to crack such complex and long passwords.
Example: Passwords like "iloveu" or "password" can be cracked easily whereas computer will take years to crack passwords like "aN34lL00"
