Cool Re: Encrypted Game Manual - Could we crack it?

So, assuming there can be ~3.8e+38 possible password combinations, we can rule out any simple GPU or Processor bruteforcing.

However, using rainbowtables in conjunction with an ASIC (generally used for decrypting hashes to mine "bitcoins") that I have, able to mine at 8ghash/second (8 billion hash guesses/sec) I have determined that it would take approximately 1.5103531e+18 years to crack.

So no, it's not happening.

Even if someone had cloud hashing, with a whopping 100th/s (meaning 100,000,000,000,000 guesses/sec) it would still take 1.2082825e+17 years.

Again, not happening. Unless someone randomly guessed it, which would be completely absurd. We waited all night for Santa to come on Christmas, so we can wait 34 more hours.
