Bruteforcer Success Rate - Spider Venom - Mar 8, 2015
Does Bruteforcing always work? Well probably no, but what is the chances of it working?
Like on a scale of 1 to 10...

I'd give it a solid.... 4.6. Thats my personal opinion.

In my experience it works for cracking hashes of short passwords and long ones if you are really patient. Brute forcing a login? Haha good luck with that.

Well what if you know someone's email, but you don't know their password? Like I'm looking around on this site an a lot of people is saying it's hard to Bruteforce a Facebook or Gmail.
Now if this is true, then why do people talk about it so much? Because what else could you really Bruteforce? If you're not using it for facebook or gmail, then what else can you use it for that is actually necessary?
Some people say you CAN do it with facebook, but not using Facebook.com

It really all depends on the speed at which a program can crack the accounts and if the owner of the account has a decent password or not.

it does take quite a long time to bruteforce a log-in. it might work with simplistic or short passwords, but for longer & more complex password, it might take more time to do than it's worth.

Depends on what you are bruteforcing buddy (;

A dictionary attack would have more success rate over just brute-forcing with random bullshit characters. Just create or find some good word lists. You don't actually know the victims password, so it's tough to guess on how long it's going to actually take. It could take seconds/minutes or days/weeks etc. You never know.
