2 unusual facts about Brute-force search


Backflush accounting

Only very small problems of this kind can be solved using Brute-force search.

History of hypertext

For example, in the early 20th century, two visionaries attacked the cross-referencing problem through proposals based on labor-intensive, brute force methods.


Bishop Simon Bruté College Seminary

Seminarians from ten dioceses across the midwest, United States live at Bishop Simon Bruté Seminary and take classes at Marian University.

Body Blows Galactic

Dragon is a massive green creature using his brute strength to win the competition, while Dino is a Velociraptor-like creature with a small green rider on his back.

Brute Force: Cracking the Data Encryption Standard

Brute Force (2005, Copernicus Books) is a book by Matt Curtin about cryptography.

Charles John Vaughan

Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy calls it "an adolescent boy's jungle; a jungle where lust and brute strength raged completely unrestrained".

Cretinism

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the translation of the French term into "human creature" implies that the label "Christian" is a reminder of the humanity of the afflicted, in contrast to brute beasts.

EFF DES cracker

In July 2012, security researchers David Hulton and Moxie Marlinspike unveiled a cloud computing tool for breaking the MSCHAPv2 protocol by recovering the protocol's DES encryption keys by brute force.

Generalized Riemann hypothesis

The yet to be verified proof of Harald Helfgott of this conjecture verifies the GRH for several thousand small characters up to a certain imaginary part to obtain sufficient bounds that prove the conjecture for all integers above 1029, integers below which have already been verified by brute force.

John Brande Morris

Having joined the Tractarian Movement, in 1839 Morris was briefly left to deputize for John Henry Newman at St Mary's, Oxford, the university church: he alarmed his audience with a sermon on angels and fasting, "declaring inter alia that the brute creation should be made to fast on fast days".

Microsoft Excel

The situation changed fundamentally in Excel 2007, where the modern AES algorithm with a key of 128 bits started being used for decryption, and a 50,000-fold use of the hash function SHA1 reduced the speed of brute-force attacks down to hundreds of passwords per second.

Monitorapp

WEB INSIGHT SLG has been developed for the first time only Brute Force defense equipment.

Philip Cezar

He is the premier example of a power forward with finesse unlike the power forwards of today like Eric Menk and Danny Ildefonso, and much earlier, Alvin Patrimonio and Nelson Asaytono, who rely primarily on sheer power and brute strength.

Post correspondence problem

A brute force search solves the problem in time O(2k), but this may be difficult to improve upon, since the problem is NP-complete.

Ratón

He compared Ratón to the boxer Muhammad Ali: "He is agile, smart, fast. Very high-spirited. He's not a brute, not like other bulls that act on instinct and crash into everything. This one thinks, analyzes, and then attacks."

Sergey Yablonsky

Yablonsky and his students were ones of the first in the world to raise the issues of potentially inherent unavoidability of the brute force search for some problems, the precursor of the P = NP problem, though Gödel's letter to von Neumann, dated 20 March 1956 and discovered in 1988, may have preceded them.

Simon Bruté

The state line at the Wabash River little affected missionaries such as Bruté and Badin.

Swashbuckler

Victorian-era authors of historical romances such as Walter Scott and Alexandre Dumas saw the art of rapier fencing as the origin of contemporary thrust-oriented small-sword fencing, and dismissed the earlier swords as heavy and fencing systems of earlier periods as inferior, slower and relying on cleaving blows and brute strength.

Tim Newsham

The Newsham 21-bit attack is a method used primarily by KisMAC to brute force WEP keys.

Vegetarianism in the Romantic Era

In Animal Food, Joseph Ritson concludes, “The only mode in which man or brute can be useful or happy, with respect either to the generality or to the individual, is to be just, mild, merciful, benevolent, humane, or, at least, innocent or harmless, whether such qualities are natural or not”.

VLC media player

However, it does not do the same on RPC-2 firmware drives, as in these cases the region coding is enforced by the drive itself, however, it can still brute-force the CSS encryption to play a foreign-region DVD on an RPC-2 drive.
