Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A dictionary attack would be the fastest way to crack the password "velociraptor" because it is a common word that could be included in a dictionary file. However, if the password had additional complexity such as including numbers or symbols, a hybrid mode dictionary attack or brute-force attack would be more effective. The answer D is not valid as the password length is not a factor for password cracking.
