[edit]Security hacker - " Brute-force attack: Password guessing. This method is very fast when used to check all short passwords, but for longer passwords other methods such as the dictionary attack are used, because of the time a brute-force search takes."
From article: "With a brute-force attack, a hacker tries all possible combinations for an eight-digit password and eventually discovers the correct one. However, thanks to widespread use of password input restrictions, such that many sites and services will now block a user after three failed log-in attempts, brute force has fallen out of favor, Ghosemajumder said."

Security hacker - "Helpfulness The opposite of intimidation, helpfulness exploits many people's natural instinct to help others solve problems. Rather than acting angry, the hacker acts distressed and concerned. The help desk is the most vulnerable to this type of social engineering, as (a.) its general purpose is to help people; and (b.) it usually has the authority to change or reset passwords, which is exactly what the hacker wants."
From article: In these cases, a social engineer, usually impersonating a technician, contacts a user and states that there is something wrong on the victim’s end, and that the social engineer needs a few pieces of information to “help” the user. Appreciative of the assistance, the victim provides the necessary information to the helpful caller or carries out the requested actions.

Lead (Slurry pipeline)
[edit]A slurry pipeline is a specially engineered pipeline used to move ores, such as coal or iron, or mining waste, called tailings, over long distances. A mixture of the ore concentrate and water, called slurry, is pumped to its destination and the water is filtered out. Due to the abrasive properties of slurry, the pipelines can be lined with high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Slurry pipelines are used as an alternative to railroad transportation when mines are located in remote, inaccessible areas.
