Dictionary attack
How the attack finds passwords?
The question needs to be more specific. There are many different types of attacks for finding passwords: social engineering, birthday attack, dictionary attack, man-in-the middle, brute force, etc. etc. etc. The "How" is different for each attack.
How do you make a word list?
Well, you start at 'A' and think of as many words that start with an 'a' (i.e. Apple, Alphabet, Awesomesauce, etc.) then you move on to 'B' through the end of the alphabet. That's how I would do it. Otherwise, I would have to assume you are a "Script Kiddie" hoping to do some hacking with a dictionary attack. Maybe, before you start trying to hack, you should actually learn what the attack is doing. A dictionary attack combines tons of words from a dictionary or "word list" and tries to see if they match the password. It's like doing a brute force attack, but faster. To compile a word list, you can either Google one, or you can find an online dictionary and make one yourself. All it is, is a TXT file with many words (I would do 1 per line).
Is beatrice okay to use for your password?
"beatrice" would probably be a lousy and easily cracked password. It is too short, and since it is a reasonably common name, it would probably be contained in any decent dictionary used for a dictionary attack.
Why is the word dictionary not there in dictionary?
This is because a dictionary typically contains words and their meanings, but it does not list itself as one of the words included. It serves as a reference guide for other words rather than being an entry itself.
What is a subject dictionary?
A dictionary on a particular subject such as a Science Dictionary, or a Military Dictionary.
What are the differences between Dictionary Attack Brute Force Attack and Hybrid Attack?
Brute Force AttackBrute force basically tries all the possible keys mentioned on the keyboard to decrypt the password or any encrypted message.Here the question arises why to use all the possible keys?The answer is user can use any of the buttons on the keyboard to write his/her message or the passworde.g. s0ooraj113/%^&&Dictionary AttackDictionary attack only tries those possibilities that are supposed to be successful, it sort the words by the frequency of the use and then contiguously hits and tries.It takes less time as that of brute force attack, but it might don't show the result on the basis of using the frequency of wordse.g. names, words or letters which are used.BySooraj Oad

Which kind of attack on cryptosystems involves using a collection of pre-identified terms?
The kind of attack you are referring to is known as a known-plaintext attack. In this type of attack, the attacker has access to both the plaintext and the corresponding ciphertext, and the goal is to deduce the encryption key or algorithm used. By analyzing the patterns or relationships between the known plaintext and ciphertext, the attacker can potentially uncover vulnerabilities in the cryptosystem.
