minus-squareCoreidan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down4·1 year agoNope. Most services lock you out after 3 failed password attempts for 10-15 minutes. Password cracking would take centuries at that rate. It worked in the 90s when you could pound the severs for hours/days before even being noticed. Now you’ll just get auto IP banned.
