Danny, It seems to me that the first thing one does to protect a system from automated attacks is to forbid access attempts to the same account more than once every x (say 10) seconds.
This means that even with constant attempt to crack the password and the Turing number, the cracker can't do his job in real-time. For example, I use a randomly generated password. The probability to crack it is about 1 in 10^32 cases. Even if someone has a simple password, say 10 characters long, the time required to crack it would be over 10^16 seconds. So, cracking the Turing number is useless (if the system is properly secured).
