if it's random forget about it. would even give the NSA a tough time.

this has a keyspace of 62^16. to crack this in one year, you would need to be hashing at a rate of ~ 15,106,795,163,389 GH/s. to achieve this hashrate, you would need a cluster of 10,790,567,973,850 Radeon R9 290Xs.

plausible indeed.
