• 94^13 (94 to the thirteenth power) OR
• 4.47365 * 10^25 OR
• 44,736,509,592,539,800,000,000,000

Possible combinations.


Using brute force "random" attempts to guess the password and assuming one attempt per second, it would take:

• 1.4 * 10^18 OR
• 1.4 Quintillion OR
• 1,418,585,413,259,130,000 years

to break into those files... Whoa.
I think the universe will die from heat death before then.

(Even if you were to attempt one Billion attempts per second with a super computer, it would still take over 1.4 Billion years.)



I sure hope so.

I'd love it to be "zombiepodcast" just to get some cracks in the fourth wall-ish...

I smell the potential use of a keylogger. Or social engineering. Or exploitation of a serious encryption bug.
