[HLUG] Fwd: [lugmaster] Talk: Adam Sweet - Password Cracking With a GPU, 17th March

[Julian Robbins]

Hi all

An excellent looking talk on the 17th March from the Wolves LUG online
below. This is one of the small benefits of the pandemic that there are so
many free talks /webinars available on the web for you instead of needing
to drive up to Wolverhampton one cold March evening.

The last talk I saw from the Wolves LUG was very good, I expect this to be
too.

Perhaps we ought to try and put a virtual talk on, as there's far more
interest currently in cross promoting the current talks on the LUGMaster
list to the various LUGs around the country and beyond.

This will be a demo of password cracking, how you can accelerate it
using a commodity graphics card and why the issues of complexity,
storage and re-use matter.
