How come? The fastest GPU in scallion's README has hash rate 11646 MH/s. To brute-force a 64-bit key ID at this rate you would need, on average, 50 GPU-years.

- arsome 5y ago50 GPU-years is fairly cheap, certainly within the realm of days for a 3 letter agency or a botnet.
- someonewhocar3s 5y agoKind of pushing it if you want to use it for regular cases though! Funny to think in GPU-years given more's law. Payloads like this (stochastic) have an expected time, not an actual time. It's pretty rare that you can buy 'enough processing power', usually have to go through figuring out and perhaps adjusting the payload to the computational platform yourself. (computing market is not per ops, it's per actual minute of computer time - rare to see it offered with 'compute this before')
- p-e-w 5y agoTo brute-force a specific 64-bit ID, sure. But if your only requirement is that the ID consist of two random characters, then a run of one character, then a run of another character, the time can be cut dramatically, since there are tens of thousands of 8-byte sequences that fit this pattern, and you can simply stop as soon as you find one of them.
