Brute Force

Natural selection itself, doing what it does best (according to Darwinists) would more likely select mechanisms that promote random errors and leave them subject to brute-force. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Today, in class, I discussed properties of strong encryption mechanisms and demonstrated how easy it was to crack a password, using simple “brute-force” (i.e., try a bunch of passwords until you find the one that works) methods. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The Volna, that formidable Cold War sword, had proved a less than reliable plowshare, making for a failure that was bitterly beside the point: the chemically propelled brute-force rocket was the trouble, not the beautiful Icarian blades that never got a chance to be tested. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Yet almost no one familiar with the numbers thinks that the planned brute-force cuts in Medicare spending are politically feasible. ❋ Thomas R. Saving (2011)

Technically that is not “enough”, even if you assume that the encryption/hashing algorithms are secure, but the effort required to brute-force such a password used to be more than anyone would use for such an unimportant person as I am. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Either hackers will brute-force their way in, by probing the organization and find a vulnerability that allows them to get through the side door. ❋ Ben Rooney (2011)

Inside Ariane felt the world spinning crazily, the ship shuddering with impact after impact as it drove through the swarm by sheer power and centripetal acceleration, a straight-line brute-force approach completely different from – and considerably more dangerous than – Sethrik's ballet of evasion. ❋ Blue Tyson (2010)

Assuming that an inexpensive computation device can go through a billion different passwords per second (an optimistic guess, but computers progress fast!), it would still take an average of about two weeks to brute-force the password   —   not enough for your top secret correspondence with aliens, but quite okay for a regular password. ❋ Unknown (2010)

A Brute Force Overshoot is what happens when you apply all of your might to opening a bag of chips only to fling them all over the kitchen, or when you bang your knuckles as [the wrench] suddenly comes off of that [pesky] [rusted] nut, sending your hand uncontrollably forward. ❋ Raul Kemp (2012)

Three examples: 1. [NASA] Astronauts pen: Russian solution to NASA multi million Dollar 'works in zero gravity' pen - [the pencil]. 2. The second Gulf War. 3. In IT [brute force] and ignorance is a design technique adopted by many software houses; brute force coding that ignores (retrievable) knowledge of how problems have been solved before in more elegant ways. ❋ Madrigor (2013)
