Re: Random String Generator

Would you have to run all possible times? That would be a big number (86,400,000,000 microseconds in a 24 hour period).

But the idea reminds me of cracking an encryption algorithm by running streams of null characters through the encryption routine and looking for a pattern in the result stream. If the algorithm is strong, you shouln't be able to see a pattern, even with just one key.
