If you want an intermediate level of security, you can use a longer, numerical passcode, and the device will give you a number pad instead of a keyboard to type it in.
Also brute-forcing must be done on the device because the UID key is involved, so you either need to jailbreak without erasing stuff or have Apple's keys (which allow you to jailbreak without erasing stuff).
