Kenny_Strawn:

Why are you writing cracking software?!?!?!?!?

Ignoring that, you have no idea how much combinations a 265 bit integer has. It's over 115000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 combinations (not exaggerating!). Even considering you can iterate through a billion combinations a second, it would take 3670000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 years!

It is probably part of another "ingenious" masterplan to bring down Microsoft. However, he is actually not writing cracking software.

So it is more likely an application to keep the CPU busy.
