He was taken to federal court, where even the prosecutor said that he "just wanted to see the recipe for the secret sauce." Clearly, the internet is not as benign as you're making it out to be. Most hackers of that level will try to steal money, identities, or something similar. Cracking someone's PayPal account, for example.With all due respect to the internet, it has yet to beat science and mathematics. And if you do a simple calculation of the amount of options for a 6 characters password, you will understand that its impossible to brute force it considering the current data-transfer speed over the internet. Pay attention to what I said, it's not possible to brute force one. I'm not saying that there's no way to hack a password, I'm saying its impossible to brute force it.
