  1. The answer is indeed rainbow table. A brute force attack is defined as where automated software is used to generate a large number of consecutive guesses as to the value of the desired data. It would try to crack encrypted data, making guesses by trying all possible configurations like: 1234, 4321, 1243, 2341, 1342… so on and so on. This question wants you to think in the way that a complex password like 1Vu*cI!8sT would make it much harder to do a brute force, but a rainbow table may already contain the hash of a password such as 1Vu*cI!8sT. That’s the best way I can explain it. Also, I just passed this exam.
