If you'd posted your intent in the OP, and your previous OP, nobody would have questioned it. As is, this is the first time you've ever said anything about what you're actually doing, and then only because I made you. I'm not sure what to make of that.

Precisely the problem.

And so, am I wery courius how you can break this code and how long it takes for differnts codes and if it works.
How I've always seen it done is various combinations of "standard" users like 'root', 'test', and 'login' along with passwords from a dictionary file. Plain brute force. Half the time the users they try to login with don't even exist on my machine. Use complicated passwords that aren't dictionary words and you'll be pretty safe.

I'm not flaming you, and it's hardly just for fun.

LESSECHO(1) General Commands Manual LESSECHO(1)
NAME
lessecho - expand metacharacters
SYNOPSIS
lessecho [-ox] [-cx] [-pn] [-dn] [-mx] [-nn] [-ex] [-a] file ...
DESCRIPTION
lessecho is a program that simply echos its arguments on standard output. But any metacharacter in the output is preceded by an "escape"
character, which by default is a backslash.
OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below.
-ex Specifies "x", rather than backslash, to be the escape char for metachars. If x is "-", no escape char is used and arguments con-
taining metachars are surrounded by quotes instead.
-ox Specifies "x", rather than double-quote, to be the open quote character, which is used if the -e- option is specified.
-cx Specifies "x" to be the close quote character.
-pn Specifies "n" to be the open quote character, as an integer.
-dn Specifies "n" to be the close quote character, as an integer.
-mx Specifies "x" to be a metachar. By default, no characters are considered metachars.
-nn Specifies "n" to be a metachar, as an integer.
-fn Specifies "n" to be the escape char for metachars, as an integer.
-a Specifies that all arguments are to be quoted. The default is that only arguments containing metacharacters are quoted
