This technique is used by attackers who understand specific password policies or rules enforced by a system or organization. By analyzing these rules, they can infer common patterns and weaknesses in passwords, such as minimum length requirements, character combinations, or allowed special characters. Using this knowledge, attackers can tailor their attacks to exploit the weaknesses of the password policy.
