[ @Ashraf] where do you get your “facts” from?
“AES-256 is the gold standard. To put its strength in perspective, trying to crack a 256-bit key through brute force would take a supercomputer longer than the current age of the universe.”
Never studied statistics? or probabilities? It is possible to guess the key on the first or second try when brute forcing a key! “a supercomputer” is not a valid computational unit… what was called a super computer in years gone by is less powerful than a modern desktop gaming PC! Also most super computers are massively parallel processing systems and you may be talking about a single threaded brute forcing program programmed by an amateur instead of a professionally programmed massively parallel potentially infinitely threaded brute force attack utilising all the computational units available on the super computer.
