"TSWG has had software for cracking 256 bit for years, with this http://www.tswg.gov/subgroups/isf/electronic-evidence/products.html (with their Counter-Encryption Tool)  I have no idea why they even posted info on it. At least they took some of the info off of the site that really should not have been there to begin with.

How long do you think your password would hold up to a system like that?"

did you not read my post?

 

"I would guess "not long" would be the correct answer."

only if your definition of 'not long' is measured in centuries, even accounting for moore's law.  i suppose if you look at human evolution as a whole, a couple centuries is 'not long' at all.
