# Intruder Attack Types ### Sniper Only one payload set needs to be defined. This attack type is useful for fuzzing a number of request parameters individually for common vulnerabilities or for performing a brute-force attack against a single account. ### Battering Ram This uses a single set of payloads. It will place the payload into all of the defined payload positions at the same time.\ I have not found this to be useful during network penetration tests. ### Pitckfork This attack runs through all payload sets simultaneously, and places one payload into each position. This attack is great when performing attacks such as credential stuffing against a login form. ### Cluster bomb This attack iterates through each payload set in turn, so that all permutations of payload combinations are tested. This attack is great when targeting several accounts for a brute-force attack or when performing password spraying against an org. ### References {% embed url="" %}
