I don't think that it'll work for long.. ANY self respecting
decker could break through this weak code. Geeze, what is this compared
to black ICE?? This one don't hurt, and drop a virus in where the
password goes... and, in a few hours, *BOOM*, the system crashes.
Remember that the corps spend millions on their fancy ICE and other
defense systems. If this worked, FASA would have the corps using. No
offense, it's a nice idea, but in practice, it wouldn't work..
I'd also like to remind you that most compilers and computers can
run at several mips...that's million instruction per second.. And that
BEFORE all this nice new technology came out..How many guesses is that
from the computer on your password..? And how hard would it be to
'piggy-back' that virus I was talkin about on that password.. Sorry, no
dice, chummer. Like I said, any self respecting Decker would crash this
thing out of professional pride..
My two cents..
