When you brute force you use a list of proxy servers.. with a good enough list you can throw countless combinations per minute at your target. If you do it right and set it to rotate the ip's correctly, you can go forever.
It's pretty easy to bruteforce, especially with the free software out there to do it. Even programs that use OCR to read captcha's, perform form logins, etc..
It's relatively easy to get passwords to several servers and a few dozen members areas on top of that in just an hour or so.
