    I only asked since i noticed significant increase post the optus hack.

    And yeah i figured bruteforcing wast too hard when i was in hs i heard a guy did simmillar thing to identify every student number/email (they where the same thing) in the state. Sent some email status code to every single id and the server dutifully responded with a status indicating which ones existed or not.

    Btw did u know if ur on a NAT that blocks torrents (hypotheicaly a university NAT) all u need to do to bypass such a thing is to bruteforce a mac address the network allows through. I heard it was particularly easy since the first half of a mac address is determined by hardware.
