Such an attack doesn't exist.

Any such attack would also become feasible with twice the budget.

As far as we know.

Assuming that the attack yields to parallel computing and scales linearly with more cpu/cores, because linear programming is bound to current compute capabilities and then theoretical limits like Bremermann's limit and Margolus–Levitin theorem.


Yeah, assuming these true things.


Assuming the parallelism of an algorithm that you know nothing about is beyond foolish.


Right, which is why we know things about the algorithm.
