When discussing passwords, what is considered a brute force attack?

  • You attempt every single possibility until you exhaust all possible combinations or discover the password
  • You threaten to use the rubber hose on someone unless they reveal their password
  • You load a dictionary of words into your cracking program
  • You create hashes of a large number of words and compare it with the encrypted passwords
  • You wait until the password expires
