For password cracking? Never, especially considering you can just go on insidepro or something and rent access to someones cluster.
- dogma1138 10y agoInsidepro is a great resource, but you usually aren't going to get a VAT invoice to either bill your client for or deduct in your taxes ;) AWS is simple, it's not overly expensive for most password cracking ventures (e.g. password quality audit that certain organization like to do on their AD/LDAP) and more importantly you aren't giving away potentially very sensitive information to people that by default cannot be trusted. Inside pro is ok if you are going mostly non-legit / off the books to begin with, it's also ok for basic research on non-real world data, but never use it for actual real world data not to mention B2B services.
