Unfortunately it would take quite some time for it to complete. A 32 KiB memory has 2^19 or 524304 bits, which can hold 2^524304 different programs. It would take much longer than the current age of the universe just to do every combination for the first 10 bytes. That doesn't take into consideration the fact that each possible program has to be tested by someone to see if it does something interesting.


At least if you had the testing job, you'd have *very* good job security. ;-)
