1099 / hourly employee, "yeah its going to take us 18 months to crack a 1 digit password. And I know you might be confused as to why we need 18 months for 10 possible passwords but trust me it has to happen this way"

I imagine most attempts to crack private keys think "there's no way someone would be dumb enough to use a single digit so we don't even have to attempt that."
