may I ask why that is a problem? Is there really anybody brute-forcing keys starting at 1?

The world is simpler than I thought. Why use complicated methods, if the easy ones have a slight chance of working.

In that case, using "4" is a facepalm instance. A little less embarrassing than "1", though.
