fpgas are sub-optimal for advanced password cracking in a few key ways. they are best for brute forcing single hash of a single algorithm (like bitcoin). they do not provide the flexibility needed for multiple attack modes, multiple hashes, or multiple algorithms. too much would have to be done on the CPU. also, fuck Verilog. the dev time alone wouldn't be worth it.

gpus really are the sweet spot. cheap, fast, flexible, easy to program.
