Oh god. Oh god. someone tell badspot. |

A breach of security won't be a bad thing (if it doesn't happen often) as long as original data can be restored. |

Aren't keys randomly generated so it is impossible for a key generator? |

Those change with ID. http://blocklandcloud.com/tools/keyidconverter.php --- End quote --- dammit The next 12 digits make it difficult. These are randomly generated, and each character has 32 possible combinations. (36 is the amount of letters in the alphabet and 0-9, however 0, O, 1, I are excluded because they are similar) There are 32^12 possible combinations. 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 (1.152 quintillion combinations) for each BLID. This number is multiplied by 33,554,432 if no research is done about the first 5 characters in the key. |
