This reminded me of a hack/cheat someone implemented for a video game called Rust (Rust is a multiplayer survival FPS where players can build bases). The game has code locks on doors, 0000-9999. What the person did was isolate the network packet sending one attempt at the code lock, and the using networking tools and a bit of automation, sent a stream of all possible permutations towards the server. Apparently people who were in the vicinity of a person employing this cheat heard a steady stream of beeps (each attempt did a short beep noise), and then inevitably the combination was found and the lock was cracked... if I recall correctly it took less than 6 minutes for it to go through all attempts and gain access to another player's base, and their treasures. After the developers heard of it, they implemented rate limiting and a small amount of 'shock' damage to the player to resolve the issue.
