So i was trying to crack a hidden giveaway...

U know nothing Jon Snow

at least u did not try all possible 5-letter combinations

You want punishment? o.O What are you some Slaanesh Cultist?

It's been done in the past. I don't think cg has ever commented on it. I'm pretty sure if your script only does a couple hundred pages, you're probably fine.

Trying all 900 million is probably bad form though.

The real question - the only one that matters - is if you managed to crack it?

The solution was "MaghreB1" which led to itstoohard puzzle so hard your eyes would bleed, be glad you didn't solve it. :/

You did what? The answer to that puzzle is in the comments, you only needed to read them...

(facepalm) If it is the one I think, then yeah, what Axelflox said. It wasn't a REAL puzzle. IF you'd taken the time to read the full post, you'd see where the person tells you to find the rest of the code. Reading, an amazing thing that can lead to even more amazing things.
