What kind of attack of image encryption that exist out there, especially if the cipherimage was created using secure stream-cipher like Salsa20 (256 key) or ChaCha20 (256 key)?

From https://cr.yp.to/streamciphers/attacks.html#chacha20 page, i know that the algorithm itself can be attack using Brute force attack to find 256-bit key (But, of course this is gonna takes alot of time, resources & depending of the complexcity of the key).

So, my point is, what kind attack that is most 'suitable' for this case & is there any tools for that?

There are no known practical attacks faster than brute-force for either mentioned algorithm. Building a practical quantum computer (assuming that's actually physically possible) and using that would reduce the difficulty to 2^128 sequential quantum operations, which will still take longer than the expected time for the Sun to turn into a red giant and engulf the Earth.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
