I dont trust obama at all. He is capable of anything.

Couldn’t someone run billions of combinations to get access? or is that just in the movies :)

‘Couldn’t someone run billions of combinations to get access? or is that just in the movies’

That works with old systems. I hope and pray Obama hasn’t kept us THAT antiquited.

But I’m not a tech guy.

Palmer is.

My fuzzy understanding is this:

Modern systems are protected through offering you only a few chances — like four — within a short period of time. Then there are ‘cool down’ periods which can get longer and longer. That prevents ‘powering’ as I understand it.

The concept of powering began as an automatic safe cracking machine. It had a spinner [probably not the right term but ...], an automated spinning machine modeled after a lathe that you put on the safe’s dial. It would ‘power’ its way through every possible number to cause each tumbler to ‘click’.
