Hi Princess, Borna and the rest, I had problems connecting to Hotmail. Never had this problem till MS took over... Anyway, here is how to break the big number down to smaller bits (call this factorisation by mathematicians) Lets say x = 72 / 3 * 6780496716 * 10 where x is that big number with the exponential "e"... since we are going to break x down into smaller factors, we don't have to calculate at all. Because the math here requires just multipication and division, it doesn't matter which come first. So, we change x = 72 / 3 * 6780496716 * 10 to x = 24 * 6780496716 * 10 to make thing slightly easier. 24 (from 72 / 3) = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 10 = 2 * 5 so we are left with 6780496716 which we need to break... To do this, just start dividing it with the smallest number available starting with 2 so that there are no remainders or decimal points. And we will end up with 6780496716 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 7 * 7 * 7 * 17 * 37 * 97 So, if we arrange all the factors of 10, 24 and 6780496716, we get 2 ( 6 of them) 3 (5 of them) 5 7 (3 of them) 17 37 97 In my first post about this, I had a different set of factors. Perhaps I made a mistake somewhere. 8P Thus, we remove the need to use any scripts or computer. just a simple calculator. 8) And then, to get a working code, we just need to combine the factors in a certain way so that we will get characters from A-Z and a-z. We combine the factors by multiplying them eg, H = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 = 72 By the way, brute-forcing is usually found in Hacker's term which means to try every possible combination of letters, numbers, characters to get a correct code/serial. bye!
