Infeasible on one computer today. On a distributed network of, say,

10,000 bots, each running dual-core processors at 3.5 GHz with 4 GB

of RAM? Perhaps no so much, if a criminal network decides it would be

worth the investment.

In any case, if time is all you're counting on, I'd say that's a bad

bet, because the time it takes a computer to execute an instruction

keeps getting shorter and shorter, at a very regular and rapid pace.
