Correct. What I meant with "exploiting common human behavior", is that the dictionaries the attacker used is built from list of old passwords found in previous attacks. Those dictionary will be order of magnitude smaller than a dictionary of the English language, but attackers know that people tend to pick passwords (or in this case, compilation of passwords) that someone else has already thought of before. Its a simple observed behavior that people in general tend to think alike, and simply do not think randomly even if individually, it "feels" random. |
