Simulate the time required to crack passwords and hashes
Understanding how brute force attacks operate is essential for structuring secure password policies.
This interactive simulator mathematically calculates the estimated time required to crack passwords or hashes (MD5, SHA-256, bcrypt, Argon2) under various hardware configurations.
Compare the cracking throughput of an 8-core desktop processor against a high-end RTX 4090 GPU, a corporate GPU cluster, and dedicated ASIC mining hardware.
Type a password or choose its length and character set.
Select from basic CPUs to dedicated ASIC cracking arrays.
Observe the hashes-per-second computation and the estimated time to crack.
It is a trial-and-error method where automated systems systematically test all possible combinations of characters until finding the correct key.
MD5 is a fast hashing algorithm designed for integrity. bcrypt includes an adaptive work factor (salting and multiple rounds), making it extremely hard to attack with GPUs.
Yes, the calculations are computed entirely client-side using mathematical formulas. No data is transmitted to our servers.
