That's with my own brute-forcer made in JS, capable of testing a whopping 4 passwords a second (when running locally).
I was bored and reading some old threads, found this.
Was able to make my JS generate about 25000 strings per second, starting from aaaaaaaa to ________.
tested with 100 000 possibilities, stopped at aaaaaB3v which took 3959ms.
still it would take about 263½ years to go trough all 191 707 312 997 281 possibilities
