1. A computational algorithm that solves a problem by systematically trying all possible solutions without optimization or heuristics, relying on raw computational power rather than intelligent strategies.
The programmer used a brute-force search to find the optimal solution, checking every possible combination.
O programador usou uma busca por força bruta para encontrar a solução ótima, verificando todas as combinações possíveis.
2. In cryptography, an attack method that attempts to decrypt data by trying all possible keys or passwords until the correct one is found.
A brute-force search attack on weak passwords can succeed in minutes.
Um ataque de busca por força bruta em senhas fracas pode ter sucesso em minutos.
