If anyone is interested in a practical attack that relates to this problem, you could check out Samy Kamkar's open sesame [1]. It leverages De Bruijn (explained in the post) to create an efficient sequence containing the required permutations.
The short description is: a project using a child's radio-toy to open a garage door, without knowing the correct code.

- IshKebab 8y agoI've done this on a fire alarm panel too. It checked the last digits so even though it required 3 digits you could check all combinations with 1002 button pressed rather than 3000. These are slightly different problems though because you need 111 in this case but not in the one this article is about. It's much easier (according to my mathmo friend who solved it).
