    I used to get some documents sent in a password encrypted zip file, they regularly messed up the password, so i ended up just brute forcing them when i received them since it was easier and faster (usually like 15 seconds)

    Not very relevant here since i knew roughly the length of the password and it was quite short, but i thought it was pretty funny
