I think you just pointed out the error in your own reasoning. This is defending against a deliberate attack. Therefore, your proper odds would be that your programming team is deliberately set upon by 6 different wolves. So, have they offended people who have access to 6 wolves, and the time and inclination to train them (or hire others to) in an effort to pull off a murder spree?

Edit: Actually, the hash attack already assumes motivation and skill. So, I don't know what the odds would have to be computed. That at least one programmer on your team could fight off a trained attack wolf (to whatever level of "training" is the current state of the art for attack wolves)?
