Understanding Brute Force Attacks

How It Works

Brute force attacks try every possible combination until finding the correct password. The time depends on password length, character set, and computing power.

Attack Speeds

Modern GPUs can test billions of hashes per second for weak algorithms like MD5. Stronger algorithms like bcrypt intentionally slow down attacks.

Defense Strategies

Use long passwords (16+ chars), enable 2FA, use password managers, and ensure services use slow hash functions like bcrypt or Argon2.
