Re: The Manuall will be cracked in...

For those of who still think its worth it to try and find the password here are sum numbers to crunch.

I got these results from trying the test document.
Computer:
Dual Athlon MPs 1800+ 1.53GHz processors
PC2100 DDR ECC Reg. 512MB
Windows XP Pro

Software:
*Name of software used will be posted after the official kickoff password is given.

Stats:
The method used was Brute-Force with the following set of charactors [A-Z] [a-z] [0-9] with a range 1-15 charactors long.

14,000 passwords per secound average

781,514,782,079,074,318,856,775,914 Possiable Passwords

692,872,793,493,106,442,870,877,008 Passwords before "2004DecryptTest"


In other words for those of you that have bothered to read this far it would take several years just to figure out "2004DecryptTest".

Some more numbers to crunch for you. 62 the number of charactors per chractor length, with the total lenth of 15

62 nPr 15
