Currently I'm trying to crack a 8 characters descrypt hash for research purposes.
Assuming upper and lower case, digits from 0-9 and 20 special characters for the password, there would be (26 * 2 + 30)^8 possibilities.
I started calculating and recognized that my laptop would not be very happy with such a task (15000 kH/s -> ~1500 days). Searching a bit I found this Sagitta Brutalis machine (1000 MH/s -> ~24 days). Sadly this thing is too expensive for me.
That's why I am here, is there any way to rent such a server or equivalent systems with similiar cracking speed? Is a FPGA a viable alternative for the task?
I'd also be very glad for other suggestions or hints, thank you.
