Apparently some are mixing up bruteforcing, cracking & checking. What Dreamzje just told is indeed true. For those who still did not get the point, here it is. bruteforcing = trying different character combinations which are "generated" completely random to find a match (basics). cracking = using a list of combos (premade not "generated") to find a match. checking = loading up a list of valid accounts, which have already been cracked and checking weather list of account is still valid or has the captured value changed.
