Remarks
    gollark: I see.
    gollark: It's not meaningful to just say "it can do 86970 passwords/second".
    gollark: Yes, but bruteforcing *what*?
    gollark: I can quite easily write you a program to generate all possible letter/number sequences faster than that.
    gollark: What is it *doing* with these passwords, exactly?
