Well there's that, and the fact he's said he's a guy.

An extraordinarily intelligent one too. Poast

I don't think he's going to tell you how. Anyone that asks I mean. Obviously, he could keep reaping money from them. o_o; Assuming he didn't just guess the code and used his masta' hax0r skills to figure out an algorithm for codes.

They do that event quite often so more wins = more $.

It failed because you are sarah Poast

The Twitter thing sorta reminded me of seemingly random numbers that involve actual properties to satisfy security checks. In other words, serial numbers and the like are not completely random.

Some cryptography research institute found a really dam good way of guessing SSNs -- from guessing 9 digits to guessing 4 digits.

Oshiet I shouldn't have said that *runs*

I don't think they've actually done it too much lately. They did it a ton for 4th of July weekend, but I think this is the first they've done it all week.

Not sure though.

You had to figure them out and once you did the codes yours, which held 10k NX.
Sooo it was a guessing game?

Yeah.. but I have a feeling if you sat down with it, there was something to it.

Why not just brute-force it? on a speed of 2 password\second it would only take you a few hours to brute force 65535 possibilities.

18 hours to be exact based on latency of having to wait for a response before continuing, if you limit it to a single test at a time, but you can reduce it to three hours by doing it simultaneously in six browsers using different subsets of the sequence.

You'll note I went for the one that was more or less humanly impossible rather than taking the easier ones.

A complete value list was pretty much the only option to go through - They could've activated anything and these weren't a real card - When I cashed it, it pegged as PayPal. That means I had to resort to processing the cartesian value of a four way join to the all the hexidecimal digits.

Mind telling us the missing characters/numbers? Rolleyes

I don't read the Funhouse, ever. David had to tell me this was here.

Thanks Everyone.
I got a personal visit from Tiara and Gilroy over this just in time to report something they did nothing about, as usual.

Grats on winning that lol, and kudos on trying to report as she was congratulating you. Too bad she doesn't sound like she cares. Sad

I like how you gave her the exact number of possibilities. I wonder what she was thinking after that. XD
