The number comes from this mastodon post, which is cited in the original article: https://kolektiva.social/@cedar/110214532879538171 https://kolektiva.social/@cedar/110214532879538171 > This enemy site talks about using up to 10,000 computers with GPU acceleration to attack a LUKS password: > https://blog.elcomsoft.com/2020/08/breaking-luks-encryption/ https://blog.elcomsoft.com/2020/08/breaking-luks-encryption/ There, it says: > Up to 10,000 computers and on-demand cloud instances can be used to attack a single password with Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery.
