Brute Force Eh? My first inclination...of course...it's mostly luck...I mean...I've got what 3000 likely guesses...then another 6000 less likely guesses, then a dictionary attack...that's another 10^11
I mean...plus you have to guess how long you must wait inbetween attempts and whatnot. And even if you're allowed to make 1000 guesses from one IP...The numbers are staggering...and you can just wait it out, because you know someone will figure it out waaay before you're script finishes.
