Question

A security analyst is reviewing the following logs:Which of the following attacks is most likely occurring?

Examice · Accepted Answer

The logs show multiple login attempts with different usernames but the same password within a very short time frame. This pattern is indicative of a password spraying attack, where an attacker tries the same password across many accounts in order to avoid triggering account lockout mechanisms. This distinguishes it from a traditional brute-force attack, which typically involves trying many different passwords on a single account. Therefore, the correct answer is password spraying.

Luchis_69 · Answer

Password spraying is a type of brute-force attack used to gain unauthorized access to user accounts by systematically attempting a small number of commonly used passwords against many user accounts. Unlike traditional brute-force attacks, which attempt many different passwords against a single user account, password spraying involves trying a few commonly used passwords against a large number of accounts.
