Feb 21, 2015 at 19:50 comment added bmike George's answer are reasonable estimates for professional attempts. My guess is you'll not be able to get close to 100k guesses a second without serious $$ and time invested. You could get lucky though - if the third attempt worked, it would be less likely than winning many lotteries, but it could happen no matter how unlikely.
