Posted by Soulskill from the add-a-character-every-six-months dept.
An anonymous reader writes "We all know that brute-force attacks with a CPU are slow, but GPUs are another story.

Some of their results are really fast — in the billions of passwords per second — and that's only with two GTX 570s!"
