Quote:im pretty sure you get autobanned for 5 mins now if you fail pin 5 times (which pretty much eliminates the usefulness of pin cracking software)
5 times / 5 min = 1 time / min.
10000 possible PINS (max attempts), 10000 / 2 = 5000 average number of attempts
10000 min = 10000 / 60 hrs = ~8 days
5000 min = 5000 / 60 hrs = ~4 days
Any PIN can be cracked within 10 days. It's not as secure as you think. The best way to keep your account secure is to never give your account name out.
