A strange first post, I must say, but welcome to WarBoards :)

"Brute" usually refers to using a brute force attack on someone's computer or web site password. Basically, it's trying a large list of passwords (often including a list of words in the dictionary) to try to get someone's password by using a very large number of automated guesses.

The best way to counter it is using a strong password. I'd recommend at least 10 characters that include at least one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, and one number. If you're doing the programming, you might limit the number of password guesses that can be made per a certain amount of time.
