CompTIA Exam N10-008 Topic 2 Question 51 Discussion

A brute-force attack is a method of guessing passwords by trying every possible combination of characters until the correct one is found. The longer and more complex the password, the harder it is to crack by brute-force. A password that provides the best defense against a brute-force attack should have a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters, and should be as long as possible. The password T5!8j5 meets these criteria, while the other options are either too short, too simple, or too common.
