HYBRID ATTACK

What is a Hybrid Attack?

A hybrid attack is a blend of both a dictionary attack method as well as brute force attack. This means that while a dictionary attack method would include a word list of passwords, the brute-force attack would be applied to each possible password in that list.

Hybrid dictionary attack is a form of simple dictionary recovery.
