"How Could Brute Force Crack This?

Cryptology, which is the association of Cryptography (the art of inventing, developing, and implementing codes, ciphers, and crypto-systems) with Cryptanalysis (the art of deciphering, decrypting, and reverse-engineering codes, ciphers, and crypto-systems), came to the rescue, by providing us with an idea for the possibly most unbiased procedure that one can apply while trying to crack' a crypto-system:

the so-called brute force attack'.

In Cryptanalysis, a brute force attack' basically consists of attributing to each digit (which can be a letter, a number, a character, a symbol, etc.) of a cipher theoretically all its (reasonably) possible values and to continue that way until parts of the text (segments, words, clusters, phrases, etc.) become apparent and readable,

in other words until those parts make sense, leading the cryptanalysts from an incomprehensible cipher-text to a (relatively) clear and rationally readable plain-text."
