Hacking Passwords with ChatGPT?

The latest edition of the Hive Systems password table is now available, and it shows ChatGPT as the fastest option by far, for hacking passwords, which certainly requires some explanation!

This video looks at the assumptions that go into time is takes for a hacker to get a password by brute force. Along the way, we look at hashing algorithms like MD5 and bcrypt, and we look at hardware like NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPUs, and NVIDIA A100s – which is where ChatGPT enters into the story. (It turns out that Hive Systems modeled a theoretical situation that involves using about $300 Million worth of ChatGPT hardware to hack a single 8-digit password!)

The video ends with an announcement about the new AI Master Group podcast which will feature interviews with people who are on the front lines, doing innovative work related to AI. The podcast will launch on July 7.
