Title: Re: Brute Forcing a 64-bit RSA-4096: Is it Still Worth the Hassle?

Hey guys, I've been tinkering with some crypto projects and got to wondering, is it still worth it to try and brute force a 64-bit RSA-4096 key? I mean, we all know it's been deprecated for ages, but what's the current state of affairs? Can anyone share some numbers on the time and resources needed to crack one?

"Dude, brute forcing an RSA-4096 is straight up not worth it, even with a powerful rig – the computational power required is insane. I'd say forget about it unless you're a crypto researcher or something, there are way more efficient ways to get what you need. Has anyone else tried using a GPU-accelerated tool for this?"

"Lol, not worth the hassle, if you ask me. Modern RSA keys are more about computational security than brute force attacks. We should be focusing on quantum-resistant algorithms, imo."
