what would you call such an attack?

In the context of password security, a simple dictionary attack involves loading a dictionary file (a
text file full of dictionary words) into a cracking application such as L0phtCrack or John the Ripper,

fragment selection, the more effective the dictionary attack is. The brute force method is the most
inclusive, although slow. It usually tries every possible letter and number combination in its
automated exploration.

words, what would you call such an attack?
