25.3.3.1 Love/Hate Attack
The love/hate attack is a very simple attack, with no knowledge requirements. The
attack consists of attack profiles in which the target item it is given the minimum
rating value, rmin, while other ratings in the filler item set are the maximum rating
value, rmax. This can be seen as a very low-knowledge version of the Popular Attack
below. Surprisingly, this is one of the most effective nuke attacks against the userbased algorithm.
