If you choose "pickle" as your password, behind which you have your 256-bit key hidden, then it will be cracked in 30 seconds. This has absolutely nothing to do with 256-bit keys.
On the other hand, you will not crack my password in millions of years, because it looks like this:

There's a lot of people talking here who don't actually represent the considered opinion and knowledge of a cryptographer. Caveat emptor.
Meanwhile, read this and explain to me again what you actually know and have evidence of versus what you would like to believe because it tickles you to think that really smart people are baffled and you're not.

Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
