If you use 256 AES encryption with a 50 character password how long...
would a brute force attack take to crack the code if you used alpha numeric as well as special symbols?
I have been lead to believe that it would take a super computer many many years to crack but I am not to sure of this so can you please help to shed some light on this.
My reason for wanting to know this is because I used bitlocker and WinZip to encrypt my drives and folders, and they both use AES 256 encryption. I know that every type of security is breakable given time, effort and the will to do it, but what would be the time frame for this scenario.
