Password cracking: What if attacker is lucky?
"lucky" is not a property of the attacker. There's no "lucky" attacker nor "normal" attacker. They both have the same probability (low, very low) to guess the key. You can decrease the probability at will by increasing the length of the key (i.e. the no. of bits). You cannot really argue "what if the attacker is lucky" because "being lucky" is a posteriori statement; you say that an attacker is lucky only when he/she was... lucky
