Assuming they started at 000000 this also puts the passcode itself somewhere in the 545000 range. I hope it was 543210.

- bspammer 3y agoIf they really just incremented from 0 they could have done a lot better. I bet the distribution of 6 digit passcodes in the population is far from uniform: * A ton of people just take their 4 digit PIN and append 00 or 01 * Passcodes that are easily convertible to dates. Bonus points for targeting their particular birthday, their family’s birthdays, their pet’s birthday, significant historical dates etc * Passcodes that make a nice pattern on the keypad like 084265 * Passcodes that have a numerical pattern like 024680
- furyofantares 3y agoYeah you'd definitely want to do an intelligent pass before brute force. Might be fun to write something that attempts to sort all the 6 digit numbers based on some heuristics "how likely is this as a human generated passcode"
- spacetime_cmplx 3y agoAs a serious security person, this is why I use 999999 as my passcode
- op00to 3y agoI use 999997. You'd think they'd try 999999, and 999998 and go "fuck this" and try something else.
