Aren’t most security it related beaches what mspart (edited) said? Being serious. Cracking aes 256 (if this is that) would take a shyyyyyyte ton of computing power and time to do so.
Cracking AES-256 encryption through brute force is virtually impossible with current and foreseeable technology. Here’s why:
Key Space and Brute Force Complexity
AES-256 has a key space of 2²⁵⁶ possible keys. This is an astronomically large number:
2256≈1.16×10772256≈1.16×1077
To put this in perspective, the number of atoms in the observable universe is estimated to be around 10⁷⁸ to 10⁸², which is of a similar magnitude.
Computational Power Required
Even if we assume an advanced supercomputer can check 1 trillion (10¹²) keys per second, the time required to brute-force AES-256 is:
2 to the 256th power / 10 to the 12th keys/sec
This is approximately 10⁶¹ years, which is far longer than the current age of the universe (13.8 billion years ≈ 10¹⁰ years).
