Very useful article, but I can't help but wonder if this was just an excuse to show off that you have a 7970 clocked at 1010MHz!I read some time ago that very long but easy to remember pass-phrases like peanutbutterandjellysandwiches actually take a password cracker longer to answer than supposedly safe passwords like for example Z34d*&1a.
Alas I don't have access/permission to play with this tool at work - any chance you could run up a benchmark/test or comment on a long pass-phrase like this?
I wonder if this technology supports crossfireX ... 😀
crossfire is supported. so is SLI if you use NVIDIA.
i am not bragging. if i were i would tell you I actually have an HP workstation with 2 XEON procs and crossfired 7970's
your 30 character password is stronger than your 10 character password.
you have to use the CPU version of hashcat to crack 30 characters and with 16 cores it would still take over 100 years! I suppose if you have a rack of Cisco UCS's at your dispossal, you could get that down to a handful of days.....
