Brute Force

Brute Force is one of the ways crackers to guess the key word (password) specific.

The process is done by guessing the order of a password combinations from a combination of numbers from 0 to, A to Z, and so on each digit keyword.

Problems caused:
A successful keyword guess by brute force techniques result in unauthorized access to an account. If the successful administrator account adalan predictable (bigwigs in a system), it is not impossible that system will change hands (take over).

Brute Force is a technique through which the most popular system and bsia used in almost all systems that use keyword-based authentication system.

Prevention / neutralization:
1. Create kumci word that is not easily guessed. For example, a combination of numbers, letters and combinations of special characters such as "&^%$#@*"
2. Create a keyword with the number of characters not less than 8. The longer the number of characters that are used more and more difficult and takes time to brute force guess a combination.
