Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brute-force attacks attempt every possible combination of characters until the correct password is found. This includes using every letter, number, and character found on a keyboard. Therefore, the best choice is A) Brute-force. The other choices, Dictionary and Profile attacks, do not necessarily use every possible character on a keyboard. Statistics is not a relevant choice in this context.
