Like you said, we do not know the target, only the range.
So let's say the target's key is 199,999
Alrighty then, to be exact, when it comes to slapping me suddenly the secure random generator gives us 199,999? And when we are working with 6 digits then as an example use 14, 15 etc, suddenly we go high as 2^130 and compare the numbers?
So why not scaling up all the values and use actual 2^130 range/keys? Though you forgot that I was asking if the stride idea could be tweaked to find a perfect stride or not.

Even if the key is e.g, 189776, we could still divide the end range and subtract from our target by different subranges, like 200,000 - 189776 = 10224, we could then try subtracting the result from endrange/4, er/6, er/8 etc.

Nvm that, I don't know anything about math, I'm not even working actively on 130, my target is much bigger.

Btw, Legends_Never_Die is my alter ego account, time for a paint job on trust wall.😉
