Trick to keep in mind+3 XP
Stuffing reuses leaked pairs; spraying spreads few guesses wide; brute force pounds one door.
Three credential attacks differ in where the guesses come from and where they land. One bets that people reuse passwords, so it replays real pairs stolen elsewhere. Another tries a handful of very common passwords across many accounts to stay under per-account limits. The third throws huge numbers of guesses at a single account. The first one only works because of reuse.
Read it once, then a question tests whether the trick stuck.
