Nope, not a sales pitch. See the first sentence in the thread. That's from an email sent to an existing customer who asked whether they should be concerned about brute force.
Take any one security class from any decade, then let's discuss it. You are correct that brute force certainly is not the preferred method if you have a choice. The OP posted my explanation of WHY it's not the preferred method. In fact, though, brute force is used all the time when you don't have a better option. I've personally used it more than once successfully. Some members of this board would have lost their servers if I hadn't brute forced a particular security system.

That challenge was also bogus. Your descriptions make it so you won't pay anyone anything, you just have that challenge. Similar to how vivid offers multi milion dollar contracts to celebs that mostly don't go through and are a sales pitch.

Do your homework, then see if you still think so.
Clearly you haven't read the posts where the challenge was posted. GFY is funny that way. You didn't even know there WAS a challenge until I just told you, yet magically you know it's bogus. We're not allowed to post links to other forums, but use "search" on some of the security and hacker forums for details. Just FYI, someone did have a partial win by showing that ONE layer of our security wasn't as strong as intended. We fixed that up and rewarded them in the way they requested. Please do your homework before calling me bogus etc. There's a reason I'm the only licensed security professional doing adult.
