What Is a Brute Force Attack?
A brute force attack is the simplest method to gain access to a website, server, or anything that is password protected. This is a method where hackers try various password combinations over and over in order to break into a website. It is a trial and error approach to hacking.

According to Techopedia, the reason it’s called a brute force attack is because of the amount of effort and resources that go into it. It takes time, force, and tools to properly launch a brute force attack. Trying to hack into a friend’s Facebook account by guessing their password, for example, can be considered a brute force attack.
