Based on the test results, a fully equipped password hash machine with eight RTX 4090s would have the computing power to perform 200 billion iterations of an eight-character password in 48 minutes.

 The sub-hour result is 2.5 times faster than the previous RTX 3090 record. Both tests were conducted using only off-the-shelf GPU hardware and corresponding software.


Hashcat software offers various types of attacks designed to facilitate password recovery or, depending on the user, unauthorized access to third-party accounts.  These attacks include dictionary attacks, combinator attacks, mask attacks, rule-based attacks, and brute force attacks.
