Thanks, it helps a lot. Could you do it a couple of more times? just for old times sake.
I remember finding out that the code for a copy of Microsoft Bookshelf that came with a computer also activated a full retail copy of Office 97 when I lost that code. It wasn’t even the same length.
I like that you even tried
They won’t work. Usually.
Judging by the gift codes being not particularly random-looking, looks like they’ve closed that one
I remember the Age of Empires 3 activation code like it was yesterday.
QRR4P-F4FDP-H9876M… something something.
Did those codes really work?
mine was for gta6 beta access
I laughed way too hard at this, well done
Yours too? You wanna join my team?
I mean, its probably public data from like a reddit giveaway post or something, so its probably already used.
Or it could be similar to how image generators generate text in images (by making things that look like text but is generally unintelligible nonsense).
Though if it trained on enough keys, it might have picked up on some of the correlations. I’d be surprised if they don’t use a database instead of just a checksum to determine valid keys, but if it was just a checksum, it’s possible that a NN could figure out how to generate valid keys.
They have a proprietary algorithm that generates keys and shoves them into a DB, in many cases they have a form of checksum to quickly check the validity of keys in-form to reduce DB lookups. Credit/Debit card numbers also have a checksum built in
If you had enough keys, it might be possible to train a NN to generate new ones, they are after all fantastic at pattern recognition it’s their whole schtick
