Neat, didn't know that existed! Definitely would have saved me some time :)

FWIW, I wrote a similar solution a couple of days ago as well, and come up with the same result (3.421166 guesses on average, with starting word SALET). So that would support that result.

With the following strategy: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WvxRRzbvDVnHZUczHBZAko3hKft..., code: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Y8k685PS0wxvYulIxsPg...

Well, it doesn't have to be that complicated.

Just underfund the security department, don't adopt systems/languages that prevent the worse bugs, and keep the core protocol proprietary.

On the other side let the governments invest in operations to hack the product.

That's exactly the point, even if pilots use autopilot most of the time (level 4 autonomy).

Guess when they take control? When something bad is happening (and there are literally a million things that can go wrong and the autopilot could not fix, ever).

Guess why MCAS did not result in more crashes (the system has been known to malfunction a couple of times before the crashes)? Righty because there were pilots that could manually control the plane well enough to land safely.
