  • aws-hashcat

    hashcat benchmarks on AWS instances

    • A rainbow table for MD5 would be huge. Nowadays, you can rent a GPU for a few minutes on AWS, where some of the largest instances can crack (MD5) around 450 GHs. That's 450 000 000 000 hashes each second. It would take 2 hours (and around 40$ of AWS costs) to crack every possible MD5 hash with that speed (including symbols), if my calculations are correct.
