How much computing power would it take to brute-force one of those hashes? We know NSA has gargantuan parallel processing capabilities.

- bluedanieru 14y agoI think it's far more likely they'd find a way to break the hash function and not tell anyone about it.
- JshWright 14y agoWe tune the hash iterations to take a reasonably long amount of time on our modern hardware. That said, a dedicated and well funded attack on a single hash could certainly crack it in a relatively short period of time (which is why we protect the hashes as if they were cleartext passwords...)
