To Explain

Guessing attacks are a type of cyber attack that relies on trying to discover passwords or encryption keys by trying a large set of possibilities until the correct key is found. These attacks are divided into several types, including Brute Force attacks that rely on trying all possible combinations, and Dictionary Attack attacks that use a list of common words and possible password combinations. The complexity of these attacks depends on the length and strength of the password, as short or common passwords are easier to guess than complex and long ones. To overcome protections such as locking systems after a certain number of attempts, attackers resort to techniques such as Slow Guessing, which is trying passwords for long periods to avoid detection, or Credential Stuffing, which uses hacked data from other sites to try to log in with repeated user accounts. Common tools in these attacks include Hydra, John the Ripper, and Hashcat, as these tools use advanced techniques such as GPU processing to speed up the guessing process. The damage caused by phishing attacks ranges from stealing personal and bank accounts, unauthorized access to sensitive data, and executing fraudulent operations using stolen accounts. To protect against them, you should use strong passwords that include upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, in addition to activating two-factor authentication (2FA), limiting the number of login attempts, and using anomaly detection solutions to prevent repeated attempts.
