Nathan is examining the security event log on a file server that contains sensitive data. He finds a number of Event ID 1234s with substatus code 0xC000006A.
There are 4 or less failures against any individual account. Which type of password attack is indicated by these events?
The scenario describes a situation where there are 4 or fewer failures against any individual account, which fits the pattern of a password spraying attack. Password spraying involves attempting a few common passwords against many accounts, rather than trying many passwords against a single account as in a brute force attack. Since brute force attacks typically involve numerous attempts on a single account, the limited number of attempts described does not align with brute force. Therefore, the correct answer is spraying.
It's spraying (only 4 or less attempts). Brute force suggests many tries.
