hey /g/, actual problem here. I feel like in 2016 it should not be too hard to brute force your way through a password on a file.
I need to get through a .SLM file password. normally the file is 80kb, and this one with a password is 1300kb. It is a menu file for work, and now i cannot edit it myself and add coupons when necessary, or do what i want in general.
Is there a way to get through this? I really hate the new menu they sent me. it can only be updated once a week by the company that runs our POS system.
Please help me gee/

Go read some books on cryptology and figure it out you massive fucking faggot.

Why do you feel like in the current year it shouldn't be hard to brute force your way through a password on a file? What are the reasons that make you feel that way? Please give at least 3 examples which are making you feel that way. Thank you.

i said feel. i know it isn't a complicated password. It is only alpha-numbers with the allowance of 8 symbols. I also know how todays technology is beyond comparable to something 5 years ago. between cpu and gpu power. and the whole mining situation using PCs to compute magical numbers into fictitious money.
i assumed it would be easier especially knowing the parameters of a password.
>It's current year so I think something that was designed to be never broken should now be breakable. Science, progress, amirite
Just kill yourself you troglodyte.

cause security isn't different depending on where it is. breaking into a house is easier than breaking into the White House. why wouldn't there be some easier passwords to break that others?
