what if 435841 is the most secure 6 digit numerical code?

why use another?

I use the random number 4, I even rolled a dice to get a real random number instead of those "pseudo" random numbers. (XKCD?)

This goes back even further, Randall is referencing the ps3 security, that has a constant instead of a random number. That allowed failOverflow to remove one variable and reverse the private key to sign ps3 apps.

The hitech world was crazy back then, I programmed the DS with some similar hack made by some dude on the internet. Fun times.
