Now hash consists of 16 characters 0-9, a-f. That's 16^16 or 2^64 possible hashes. And hash is used as the key. So, effectively, you're using 64 bit keys. It's too large a key space to brute-force in 10 minutes for me, but it should be obvious that it's a severe flaw nonetheless.
Unless it's a lame key or someone has a Japanese earth simulator lying around I don't see it being cracked in a week either. But this is surely worth another $50. Aliver, it might have cost you a hundred big ones, but this thread made me laugh. Thanks. Let's have more quality entertainment like this on Full-Disclosure. - Blazde
