You'd think if it were simple you would have remembered it.

I was thinking the same. To put it simply there's no way to forget all the letter positions. What this smells like to me is a little shill action. Ither for a product or against one. 5 lowercase letters would be all but impossible to forget the order for even say 3 of them but to forget all 5? Something just does not smell right. Not to mention his attitude.

Worst case he should remember at least 2 letters in 2 locations leaving him with 3 to guess. A few tries and done.

Pushing an electronic delivery hacking product on a security forum?
This forum as many other security forums is not built on a group of law abiding, fair playing professionals though some do participate.

All it would take is just ONE pissed off or irritated forum member, visitor or lurker to put into motion a well written advertising bot on the undernet that advertises the product for what it is.

The bad guys would jump all over it - using other peoples credit/debit card info for the purchase.
I seriously doubt any company would knowingly place itself at that level of risk for a little free advertising.
If it was about bashing (personally I doubt that) the OP has my full respect for knowing the downside to security forum spamming.

I know there are plenty here who could do some real damage. I was here when the el cheapo router challenge going on to see just how secure even the cheapest plain old router was. That was really quite interesting to see the results of.

As for security professionals i would say dslreports security forum has more than it's fair share.

As you well know iv'e known many here from before my days here. It has been so long well over 1 years now i can't remember if one told me about this site or if i just came here on my own.

My doubts about the op come from his other similar postings on other forums here about other products. And again just his attitude.

Absolutely.
I didn't mean to imply otherwise but the strength/beauty of this particular security forum is in the mix.
From patient seasoned Professions discussing matters with eager noobs to Professionals cutting their teeth to people just interested in security as a hobby this forum is No ka `oi
