There’s been much talk recently of using the processing power of the cloud, perhaps Amazon EC2 spot instances, to crack passwords.
Why bother? A cheap local GPU will do the job.
| Password | Time to crack | |
| CPU | GPU | |
| fjR8n | 24 seconds | <1 second |
| pYDbL6 | 1 hour 30 minutes | 4 seconds |
| fh0GH5h | ~4 days | 17 minutes 30 seconds |
Seven character passwords are pretty common. Mixing upper case letters and numbers doesn’t really help.
