AWS and speed of thier GPUs - led5150 - 06-23-2020
Hey all!
I have been thinking about getting some time on AWS's beastly GPUs basically as a test to see how fast a really killer GPU might crack some hashes. They have the following GPU's available:
NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPU
NVIDIA K80 GPU
Just curious if these are compatible and if so, what kind of speed would you expect with either of these for say, a NTLM hash?
Also, they have an option for two of the K80s at about the same price point as 1 of the Tesla guys. Is two better than one in this case?
Thanks!

K80's are quite old and are not very performant for the price/hour (Or the elelctricity cost). V100's are the way to go for performance per dollar and top-line speed per VM

Thanks for the info! I'm gonna go for the V100. I'll post here when I get some stats on speed!

So here's what I got for an unsalted NTLM hash in brute force mode 6 characters min:
Speed.#1.........: 42479.2 MH/s (7.05ms) @ Accel:32 Loops:128 Thr:1024 Vec:8
I'm actually a little underwhelmed, since the record of 100 billion was made on a far cheaper GPU. It makes me feel like somewhere there is a driver issue... but it took me so long to install the drivers that are working now, I don't know if I'm going to stop and retry. Sever rental is expensive!

I don't know what made you think developer GPUs are superior for hashcracking. They aren't.

Oh it's because I have no idea what I'm doing. Ha, I found that out the hard way last night. So what makes a GPU better for cracking hashes specifically?
RE: AWS and speed of thier GPUs - undeath - 06-26-2020
Hashcat requires good integer performance. Developer cards usually only boost floating point performance, sometimes even at the cost of integer performance. Consumer GPUs are what work best for hashcat.
