Thought it was just for pretty ray tracing effects and high frame rates? Turns out the RTX 4090 could be a password cracker's best buddy.
) that there's"an insane >2x uplift over the 3090 for nearly every algorithm." In the same thread he also pointed out that it's just over three times faster than AMD's Radeon RX 6900 XT.
Crunching the numbers, other Twitter users have suggested that would mean a modest collection of RTX 4090 cards could go through every single possible password combination of a standard eight-character password—including upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols—in less than an hour. That's with the AD102 tested against Microsoft's New Technology LAN Manager authentication protocol, which is something you'll see in place in a whole lot of enterprise situations out there.
That's massively cutting the cost of password decryption, which should have you right now looking at just how secure your pet-name passwords are looking right now. Though to be fair, in 2022, theare still 123456 and 123456789. So, for the vast majority of passwords you're not going to need an expensive cracking rig to get through someone's simple security.
Mother of Eris...With these benchmarks, using an 8 GPU rig, you could go through:every.single.possible.password.combination.of an 8 character password using NTLM hashing in...48 minutes!!! https://t.co/nM85LqddclBut if a single card was to be put up against a list of the top couple of hundred passwords in use right now it may just take a few seconds, maybe milliseconds, to crack most passwords.
