    14 numbers [ = 1014 combinations]: 41 min [ = 2460 s]

    This works out to 40 billion guesses per second. Can you calculate 8 password hashes in one 5GHz clock cycle?! If the hash&salt algorithm is any good, rainbow tables will not work, either. You would need the undivided power of some serious botnet to get these times. Not to mention the service would need to be breached for hashes first.
