A dictionary attack uses a brute-force technique of successively trying all the words in an exhaustive list called a dictionary (from a pre-arranged list of values). In contrast with a normal brute force attack, where a large proportion key space is searched systematically, a dictionary attack tries only those possibilities which are most likely to succeed, typically derived from a list of words for example a dictionary (hence the phase dictionary attack) or a bible etc. Generally, dictionary attacks succeed because many people have a tendency to choose passwords which are short (7 characters or fewer), single words found in dictionaries or simple, easily-predicted variations on words, such as appending a digit.

If an attacker wants to break your server, he first needs to guess the username, and then try to gess the password for that username, so the more common dictionary attacks are done to the root password, there are two reasons to do it that way.

  1. Almost all systems has root accounts (Ubuntu does not have it enabled)
  2. If someone gain access to your server with the root accout it will have full access to the server
