This timer calculates how long it would take to brute
force an encrypted text to find out what it says, by going
through every possible character combination in a key. It will
go through a key length of 20 characters and a possible 80
different characters.
It is cycling through every possible combination of letters,
even though you may not see it on the display. The display only
updates every second to prevent the browser from running out of
memory.
According to calculations, to crack a key that is 5 characters
in length the program would have to go through that 1 hour of time
80 different times, for the 80 different characters. So it would
take about 80 hours to crack a 5 character key. But I have been know to be wrong
Here is some estimates of time for average gamer computer
to crack keys of different lengths:
