But did he really hacked it? Or just brutforced it?
- keepamovin 3y agoWell he definitely hacked it logistically. Basically what I meant: a bit of maths, a lot of logistics. To me that qualifies!
- Zetice 3y agoBrute forcing is hacking…
- keepamovin 3y agoAgree, yeah! But I guess this guy meant more like, some sort of "sophistication" like in the way that brute-force is an attack on SHA3, but no one has said publicly any better way to hack it! Although for brute force to yield a successful hack, it must be sophisticated, by definition, otherwise it would be infeasible. And in this case, I think the guy qualifies, because he: 0) was successful, 1) reduced the brute force possibilities, and 2) rose to the logistical challenge of implementing them. Haha! :)
