What are Brute Force Attacks?

Brute forcing is a mechanism which is used by an attacker to break the encryption of data by applying a set of various key. Cryptanalyst has a set of number of keys and apply them one by one to the encryption algorithm until he get the right key.

Example: http://www.xxxxx.com/online/Displaymsg.asp?msgID=78961

In this example a cryptanalyst may apply bruteforcing to the value of msgID and read the user’s data.
In this the browser requesting for Displaymsg.asp page and sending msgID 78961 to the web server.
