John, my man, you might as well have just written 'hack me' on your forehead. That password is about as secure as a screen door on a submarine.

Hmm, let's see. Dictionary, rule-based, brute force, hybrid - yep, poor John's password is a sitting duck. Maybe he should try 'pineapple' next time.

Wow, 'apple' as a password. John must be a fruit fanatic or something. At least it's better than 'banana'.

Brute force, dictionary, rule-based, hybrid - doesn't matter, John's password is going down. He might as well have painted a bullseye on it.

I agree with both of you. Rule based attack and hybrid attack may not work as well as dictionary and brute force attacks.

I think a brute force attack could also crack John's password since it's a simple word.

Apple? Really, John? That's like putting 'password' as your password. Classic rookie mistake. A dictionary attack would have that cracked in no time.

I know right, 'apple' is way too easy to guess.

John's password is vulnerable to a dictionary attack because it's a common word.
