http://www.basilmarket.com/forum/1395134/1/PIC_Discussion.html# In this thread, there is a poll saying "the PIC is great, except for hackings". Does anyone know what he means by the hacking bit? I PM-ed him before but he logged off.

PIC is a lot, A LOT safer than a pin. Quotes from people, including myself: [quote] LostABowel : There are 26 letters in the alphabet. 52, if you use capitals There are ten numbers. 62 so far. Now there is a maximum of 16 digits/numbers in the PIC. 62 x 62 x 62 x 62 x 62 x 62 x 62 x 62 x 62 x 62 x 62 x 62 x 62 x 62 x 62 x 62 x 62 x 62 possibilities. Have fun brute forcing your way through ONE account! :D [/quote] [quote] matrixphijr : As Penut says, 62^16 IS 47672401706823533450263330816. That's 47 Octillion. Yes, octillion as in million, billion, trillion, quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion, septillion, octillion. 47 followed by 27 numbers. Good luck. [/quote] [quote] FatalSparrow : If your PIC was 16 numbers long its estimated that it would take a computer over 1,000 days to brute force the PIC, adding in just 4 uppercase and 4 lowercase letters to 8 numbers increases the time to well over 3 MILLION days. In comparison a 4 number pin, takes less then 1 HOUR to crack on average. Fun tool: http://www.yeehee.com/tools/bruteforcecalc/index.php?uc=&lc=&nu=4&sc=&ran=&rans=&dict= [/quote]

Your password is 22 characters long and has 16,772,593,422,857,260,737,801,224,192 combinations. It takes 61,018,339,412,320,560.00 hours or 2,542,430,808,846,690.50 days to crack your password on computer that tries 137,438,953,472 passwords per hour. This is based on a typical PC processor in 2008 and that the processor is under 10% load.

dayum i might increase my PIC to uppercase and lower case if it would take 3million days (at least) xD i changed it and it went to It takes 197,524,193.17 hours or 8,230,174.72 days to crack your password on computer that tries 137,438,953,472 passwords per hour. in other words it would take... 22548.422 YEARS to crack my PIC xD this will be fun

he was one of the people that thought that you use a id and pw and you set your PIC code. skipping the pin but it is id pw and pin then setting a PIC code then maple erases the pin.

kinda good though even though they will lose a fair bit of money, but yea i reckon people will stop buying until 1 person is hacked then will start up again lolz but i think it will be a while until someone is hacked unless they are stupid enough to have a 4 letter PIC which i dont think they are unless they are stupid and below 10 yrs old (no offence to anyone who is 10 below and have the best PIC xD) but thats just IMO

Actually I believe PICs have to be at least 6 characters long.

[quote] AkatsukiDark : It's actually 16 characters long, ranging from numbers-lower/upper case letters. [/quote] Yes 16 characters max , but at least 6 characters long. My post was in response to the guy who mentioned that the PICs were 4 characters like PINs.

I think he means to say "PIC is great, except for hackers " Which makes sense, because hackers wont be able to get into peoples accounts so easily anymore.
