Bruting

[Arcade$]

I've heard the term, but what actually is bruting and can you be found out for it?

According to google it means browsing.

It's a process of trying literally every single combination of letters and numbers in order to eventually find a password, and yes these days most programs and functions have protection against it

[Special]

it comes from the term 'brute forcing' which means systematically checking all possible keys until the correct combination is found (the password)

a while ago there were programs that would do this for you but have since been patched. if you come across one now chances are it's a fake program containing a keylogger

Oh, thanks for the information. If a Habbo account had been bruted, could Habbo find out?

Most likely because of the many failed attempts.

habbo has safeguards against bruting i believe.

they wouldn't know unless it was reported to them & unless you could prove you were a subject of bruting then they can't do anything about it

If you reported you were hacked they could log the IP and see all the failed log ins.
