Analytic
An analytic attack is an algebraic manipulation that attempts to reduce the complexity of a cryptographic algorithm. Analytic attacks focus on the logic of the algorithm itself.
You can read more about analytic attacks on this post.
Implementation
An implementation attack is a cryptographic attack that exploits weaknesses in the implementation of a crytographic system.
It focuses on exploiting the source code by its errors, flaws and the programming methodology.
Statistical
A statistical attack is a cryptographic attack.
Brute-force
A brute-force attack is a cryptographic attack.
Fault injection
A fault injection attack is a cryptographic attack.
Side-channel
A side-channel attack is a cryptographic attack.
An example of side-channel attack is a timing attack.
Man in the Middle
A man in the middle attack is a cryptographic attack.
Birthday
A birthday attack is a cryptographic attack.
Replay
A replay attack is a cryptographic attack.
