When you set a password, are you used to using pure numbers? If your password is set to a pure number, then you need to wake up. The network security company Hive Systems announced the results of a study that uses NVIDIA graphics cards to brute force password cracking. I never expected that pure digital passwords would be completely vulnerable to the RTX 4090. The method used by

hive systems is violent credential stuffing. Judging from the published results, if it is just a purely numerical password, the rtx 4090 can crack it instantly, and even the rtx 2080 can crack it instantly. For passwords with numbers plus uppercase and lowercase letters, the RTX 4090 also takes just 22 minutes. The most exaggerated thing is that using 10,000 NVIDIA professional graphics cards a100 can achieve instant cracking. Even when faced with numbers plus uppercase and lowercase letters plus symbols, rtx 4090 only takes 59 minutes to crack.

Of course, this test is predicated on the fact that the encryption method of the password is md5, and the hash value of the password has been obtained. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for hackers to obtain this data. However, this test also gives everyone a warning, that is, never set a pure number for your password.
