only 48 hours? I suppose they probably knew running it at all was useless to begin with, so they stopped after 2 days.. but still if you're going to do a brute force crack on a password... with 100 cpus running 10 password per second you'd only ever get even 1/10th of the way through the possible passwords in a standard 1024 bit PGP encryption in a few hundred thousand trillion millenia or two. an insanely long time. millions of times longer than the universe has even existed so far.
@Kcirtap792....A brute force attack on a PGP key is practically impossible. My PGP key, as is most users, is 1024-bits. Using a computer continuously number crunching at the rate of a million instructions per second would take many millions of years to crack my key (assuming no advances in factoring algorithms).
Assuming you trust IDEA, PGP is the closest you're likely to get to military-grade encryption. Learn something about computers please. Idiot.
Duncan was no computer expert. PGP encryption is available for download on the web and anyone can use it. It is uncrackable but a third grader can encrypt with it.
