Explanation:
Clone or borrow the credential token - Memorizing a colleague password to later gain
access to their credential or finding someone else token and using it without permission.
Sniff the credential - using methods to intercept a password to later be used in order to
login using someone else credential
Trial-and-error guessing - Guessing someone's password to gain access to their device.
This could be done by trying to guess someone iPhone passcode using the residue of oil
from their fingertip on the screen of the device.
Denial of services - blocking the user by either damaging the system or getting the user
the block from the account.
Retrieve from offline - Extracting information from a USB or a hard drive to gain access
to the system.
