Password Guessing

What Is Passwod Guessing?

Passwod Guessing definition and explanation.

Password guessing is a form of gaining access via using previously gathered intelligence from the account holder. This may result in OSINT-based information or also previously breached passwords of the same individual. As opposed to brute force attack, password guessing does not generate a large number of attempts and thus is less likely to trigger alarms.
