Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A dictionary attack is the most likely way to crack a password such as "tiger", which is a commonly used word that can be found in most dictionaries. Brute-force attacks and hybrid dictionary attacks may also be successful, but they require more time and resources to execute. An attack on an application running as root would not be relevant in this scenario as it does not pertain to password cracking.
