    <p>Brute force refers to a solution to a problem that relies on computers being fast to get an answer. Generally, it works by trying all possibilities. For example, if you want to know the sum of all numbers 1 through 100, you could do something like:</p> <pre><code>sum = 0 for i from 1 to 100 sum = sum + i end </code></pre> <p>That'd be brute force. You could also do notice that 1 through 100 contains 50 pairs totaling 101, and solve it like this:</p> <pre><code>sum = 50 * 101 </code></pre> <p>That's an intelligent approach. Note that brute force is generally easier to come up with.</p> <p>The concept is extended to security in an obvious manner. For example, if you want to break into someone's account on a system that requires 8-character passwords, you could just start trying passwords — aaaaaaaa, aaaaaaab, ... — and eventually it'll work. That's brute force. You could try a list of common passwords (less brute force-ish). Or you could notice the site stores who you're logged in as in a cookie, and edit the cookie (not brute force).</p> <p>Similar with breaking encryption. You could try all possible keys (brute force, not going to finish this lifetime on a reasonable cipher). Or you could analyze the cipher for weaknesses (very hard if its a good cipher, definitely not brute force).</p> <p>And, to tie it all up, if you want to take down a site, you could just send a bunch of traffic/requests/whatever in its general direction. That's brute force. That's a DoS attack.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
