An attack, using nothing but a brute force. Behaves brutally and forceful. Brute-force is a very broad term, not limited by a field of application. One particular example may be a brute force attack on some password-protected system — in that case you just try all the possible combinations, as opposed of coming up with something clever and more efficient. And yeah, this is not a place for wanna-be-a-hacker talks.

basically someone is trying to hack something eg: your fb acc. and they try to use all words in dictionary from a to z. No worries though it will take forever unless they know partial info about your password.
