Passwords that contain recognizable words are vulnerable to a:

  • A. Denial of Service attack

  • D. Replay attack
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
A dictionary attack is a method of breaking into a password-protected computer or server by systematically entering every word in a dictionary as a password. A dictionary attack can also be used in an attempt to find the key necessary to decrypt an encrypted message or document.
Dictionary attacks work because many computer users and businesses insist on using ordinary words as passwords. Dictionary attacks are rarely successful against systems that employ multiple-word phrases, and unsuccessful against systems that employ random combinations of uppercase and lowercase letters mixed up with numerals.
