Which type of attack does not require technical knowledge to crack the password?

• A. Shoulder Surfing
• B. Dumpster Diving
• C. Electronic Attacks
• D. Non-Electronic Attacks

Answer: (D)

The key idea is differentiating methods that rely on electronic tools from those that depend on human factors or physical access. An approach that doesn’t require technical knowledge uses non-digital means to obtain a password, such as observing someone typing it or finding credentials in accessible places without using software or hacking tools. That broad category—non-electronic attacks—covers these human-centered techniques and doesn’t require technical hacking skills. Electronic attacks, by contrast, involve computers, software, or exploiting systems, which do require technical know-how. So the non-electronic attacks option best fits the scenario of cracking a password without technical knowledge.
