Thread: Running a Brute Force Attack Simulation...

Nevermind! Fixed it

Now let's see how long it'll take to crack it! haha

well assuming you have a case sensitive 8 character alphanumeric password, (upper + lower and 0-9 = 62 chars) that's 62^8 or 218340105584896 possible combinations.

if we pluck a number out of the air and say you can try 10000 passwords a second, it'll still take you 6065002 hours (or about 700 years!)

yeah... haha, i cut the password down to 4 characters i realized that bit a little ways into things.

I'm having trouble with displaying this info though:

Code:

cout<<endl<<"It took:"<<endl<<"======="<<endl<<(time&#37;60000)<<" Minutes, ";
	time = time - (60000*(time%60000));
	cout<<(time%1000)<<" Seconds, and ";
	time = time - (1000 * (time%1000));
	cout<<time<<" Milliseconds to crack the password."<<endl;
	cout<<"With as, "<<tested<<" attempts."<<endl;
	cout<<"At Approximately "<<aps<<" attempts per second.";

Just to show how long it took in different units...

Why wont it work? =(

EDIT------------
Actually...

I'm getting a runtime error, div by 0, but why?

Code:

time = stopTimer();
	aps = (tested/(time%1000));
	cout<<"The Password Is: "<<conCylinder(main, ptext, ctext, p, tested)<<endl;
	cout<<endl<<"It took:"<<endl<<"======="<<endl<<(time%60000)<<" Minutes, ";
	time = time - (60000*(time%60000));
	cout<<(time%1000)<<" Seconds, and ";
	time = time - (1000 * (time%1000));
	cout<<time<<" Milliseconds to crack the password."<<endl;
	cout<<"With as, "<<tested<<" attempts."<<endl;
	cout<<"At Approximately "<<aps<<" attempts per second.";
	cin.ignore();

And i initialized time to 1, and it gets reassigned a number when the function finishes.
