[Discuss] Cracking

I made this thread regarding the phrase I see frequently around in general.

Some person wrote:

Cracking is obsolete

But is this true? Discuss.
Do you think cracking is truly gone / will be back?

@The people who actually have knowledge of these sorts of things, give a detailed answer to my question.

i.e - Cracking isn't possible because blahblahblah.

P.S: If this isn't the appropriate location for this thread, please move it accordingly.

Gaia Mobile nuff said, but there are alot better methods for getting in now...

There's always ways to manipulate/gather from sites, you just need skill.

That isn't an efficient method if functional at all.
Also, there are probably about two ways left to coin a cracker that actually works.

There are few people left on Gaia who has this "skill" you speak of.
I haven't seen an operational cracker in a good year or so.

I think hes trying to say that Gaia Mobile dosen't have capchas. The only way you could make cracking gaia possible is if gaia didn't update their capchas and someone made a crack for them. Just look up cracking capchas or auto capcha crack on google, some older capchas are crackable, normally only one or two versions behind the current ones. The hackers are catching up

Weird, Gaia Mobile isn't authenticating my account at all.
Also, word on the street has it that after approximately 100 failed login attempts Gaia Mobile, or wap, blocks your IP from interfacing with it by any means.
Yeah, hackers are catching up, but security is catching up also.

what is gaia mobile?

The mobile version of gaia optimized for iPhones, smart phones, and normal phone browsers

can you use it for rally?

It locks up after 100 or so logins.

I've built a working cracker in the last few days. It's currently very inefficient. It allows you to make 3.3~/s, 200/m, 12000/h, 288000/d. seconds/minutes/hours/days. It's not very efficient (it makes 1 request every 300 ms). It's web based (which is why it's so slow). Faster speeds would crash the browser or increase the load to a point that it's not very reasonable to use it. I've run some numbers and theorize that a desktop app using the same method would increase speed 7-10x. For anyone whuld like to try this cracker, PM me.

Anyway. No. I don't believe cracking is obsolete. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you have 1000 passwords and 1000 accounts, you try 1000 accounts/passwords for each account/password. Is that 1 million or is it 1000^1000 instead of 1000*1000?
If it's 1000*1000, then 1000*1000 / 288000 is 3.4222~. Meaning... Leaving my cracker open in browser would allow you to run 1000 attempts for 1000 usernames in 3.4222~ days. I don't think that's very obsolete at all.

At 7 times that speed (desktop app), you have 23/s 1400/m 84k/h 2.016m/d.
I could be wrong. I'm not really great with applying math to anything but book problems.
