In the recent past, attackers used to perform traditional Brute Force attacks by attempting to log in to a single account using multiple passwords. However, due to the disadvantages of this method, attackers often prefer the Password Spraying technique, which they think is more effective.

Password spraying is a brute-force attack in which an attacker attempts to gain access to multiple accounts by using a common password. This type of attack is often used when brute forcing a single account would be too time-consuming or if the attacker does not have enough information about the target account.

An attacker may try to guess the password using a repetitive or repetitive mechanism in Brute Force attacks.

To carry out successful Password Spraying attacks, the attacker must first have a password list generated according to the password policy of the target for which they want to obtain valid accounts…
