by the way - having a name-class list from school time would lower the brute-force-time enormous. As ~30 tries happen in 0.00001 sec or so - so you can even take the list of all pupils ever visiting the school ever and still be finished under 1 sec. - hehe

Funny although it’s actually a dictionary attack.

Wouldn't that be rather a dictionary attack?

If it's a Robot, then yes, it could be a brute force attack. But if he is human, I doubt that his name would be, for exemple: MX 39147
