DICTIONARY ATTACK

A dictionary attack is a method of brute force hacking whereby a long list of passwords or similar are sent one at a time, from a source document resembling a dictionary. A common implementation of dictionary attacks is for persons sending unsolicited emails to attack an internet domain. An email dictionary attack is a single SMTP connection that attempts to send emails from a source to a random set of names from a dictionary of names and words, on the target domain, e.g. john@domain.com fred@domain.com admin@domain.com, in the knowledge that at least one of the names chosen will be a valid email address. Dictionary attacks levelled against an email server can also overwhelm an email server and fill up the available disk space, preventing the server from conducting its legitimate business.

DISK FILLER

Disk filler is a DOS memory-resident and boot sector computer virus. The disk filler virus infects a host computer when it is booted from an infected floppy disk. The disk filler virus then copies itself to the boot sector of the hard disk of the victim computer. If a computer with an infected hard disk sector is booted, the virus goes memory resident and attempts to write itself to the boot sector of all floppy disks introduced to the computer. If twenty-six minutes pass without floppy disk activity, the virus triggers its payload and overwrites the hard disk file allocation table and displays a message.
