Hashing or hashing algorithm is a key concept used in cryptographic methods. Hashing is popularly used while storing passwords on systems. There are specific attack methods that are employed to recover hashed passwords or hashed information. Critically review the following three types of attack methods that are used to recover hashed information. Your discussion should describe the operation of each of the attack types and identify the relative strengths and weaknesses of each type of attack in comparison to the other two types. 

Use illustrations and examples, where appropriate to support your discussion. You should write no more than 400 words to answer this question.  

Brute-force method 
