Password hash hardware?

Question

Computers

Is it possible to crack password hashes etc on platforms like Orange Pi AI Stick and Neural Compute Stick
Is it possible to assemble a portable device for hash cracking and other tasks ?

Answer 1

Generally speaking, since computing hashes of different passwords requires the same calculations to be performed, and these calculations are easily parallelized, it is best to do them on the GPU.
And yet - it makes sense to look at rainbow tables .

Answer 2

I'll tell you a secret: a hash can be calculated without a computer at all.
Do you understand?
If not, I explain: it's all about the requirement for processing time / speed to achieve the result. And, if it tends to zero, it is better to think 100 more times and choose the right direction for solving this problem.
