If 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: *

If 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"
