I wrote this piece of code: https://gist.github.com/1149417

It's currently running at 3200000 tries per second on my Xeon machine. I am probably going to get bored before I find the right combination because I calculated it could take up to 52 days. :)

But anyways, it is still a lot less time than trying to bruteforce something like Tr0ub4dor&3 in my opinion.

It seems you like challenges, if I gave you a SHA1 hash of something similar to "Tr0ub4dor&3", would you be able to crack it (without rainbow table) under 52 days ? I don't think so.
