A **dictionary attack** is a type of cyberattack used to crack passwords or encryption keys by systematically trying every word in a predefined list (or "dictionary") of likely passwords. Unlike brute-force attacks, which try every possible character combination, dictionary attacks rely on the assumption that users often choose common or simple passwords like "123456," "password," or "qwerty." These attacks are efficient and often successful against weak passwords.
