When does a brute force attack work best?
Online
When host or username is not known
Offline
A Brute force attack attempts to use every password it possibly can. When done online, a connection has to be made to the host, giving the password-cracking software only a short window to crack the password. However if done offline, there is no connection to the host and the password-cracking software knows the target host's password Hash and Hashing Algorithm, giving the cracking computer more(or unlimited) time to make the attempt.
