The Forbes website mentions in the past few days the work done by participating universities at a number of universities the general purpose was to study the selection of PIN unlock codes on the iPhone.
In this study, and since the iPhone has lock systems when it uses brute force techniques to open its centers, they used the functi on found when we first set up our code
How is the study done?
This is You had to enter 10,000 different codes for 4-digit buttons and 1,000,000 for 6-digit buttons. What could be a better complement to a repetitive task like this than a robot? With The Lego robot used the Raspberry Pi was programmed to test every possible combination of each, encoding each terminal for a terminal response, indicates whether it is secure enough, or if on the other hand it is a blacklist of weak passwords. For each code, the robot took a response image that was sent to the image analysis server and identified the code accordingly.
For the sample comparison results, 1220 participants were selected where codes were available for use, thus allowing data collection to be used.

What does this study reveal?
The results obtained by this study have been There are 274 codes that are deemed to be 4-digit passwords and 2910 codes are deemed to be invalid 6-digit PINs.. Judging by the sum of the total numbers, does this mean that the 6-digit codes are more secure? Mathematically, yes, but comparing the results with the sample participants, the research revealed that 6-digit passwords are easy to get as they rely heavily on length rather than complexity
In conclusion it was decided that there is no real advantage of a 4-digit code over a 6-digit code and vice versa you're using at-risk code samples, so it's the same as using one option over another when it's a question of forcing open a locked code tool.
