Question

Which of them is not a disadvantage of active online attack?

(a) Takes a long time

(b) Easily and automatically detected

(c) Need high network bandwidth

(d) Need the patience to crack

I got this question in my homework.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Password Cracking and Security Measures in chapter Cyber Security Types of Cyber Security

Answer 1

Right choice is (b) Easily and automatically detected

The best I can explain: In an active online attack, the attacker directly tries different passwords 1-by-1 against victim’s system/account. It has some disadvantages as it takes a long time, hence a lot of patience & high network bandwidth also.
