Brute Force vs. Password Spraying

Brute force attacks attempt to crack a password by systematically trying every possible combination of characters until the correct one is found. Password spraying, conversely, uses a list of commonly used passwords and attempts them against many different user accounts. The goal of password spraying is to avoid account lockouts, which are often triggered by repeated failed login attempts from a single account.
