DETECTION OVERVIEW
Risk Factors
While Telnet is an older and vulnerable protocol, it is often enabled by default. Brute force attacks are low cost and relatively easy to perform, so they are common. If an attacker gains entry to your network through a poorly-secured workstation, it can lead to further exploits of higher-value assets. It is worth your time to secure workstations by adding strict password requirements.
The system might change the risk score for this detection.
Kill Chain
Risk Score
—
Brute force attacks can occur manually through trial and error or with password cracking tools. The attacker makes repeated attempts to try all possible variations of a password. There are variations of a brute force attack that include a dictionary attack, where the attacker tests a large number of common passwords. Brute force attacks can also occur through a small number of attempts across a large number of hosts or password spraying, where a small list of common passwords are attempted across a large number of accounts.
