Now, obviously, there's still a lot to work with here if you're interested in brute-forcing the thing. The account name is most likely going to be text only and the credit card number will be all digits. And so on.
But I don't see this article really having any bearing on DRM cracking on current methods. The gist seems to cover passwords only (without having to worry about username), and of the 8 digit variety. I don't know of an industry DRM that is that simplistic -- because it's been known for a LONG time that cracking 8 digits alone is pretty darn easy. It's the combination of username / password that increases the difficulty, along with "shut out" methods like how many attempts you get.
Or am I missing something?
