ok looking at current GPU technology 😂
a 128 bit password has
3.4×10^38 possible keys
(a 20 character password with upper, lower, numbers and 10 specials is technically 123 bits, but because Veracrypt and Luks and others use PBKDF2, it's functionally at least 128 bits)
we'll say a NVIDIA H100 GPU can guess 10^12 keys per second
I make that
1.07x10^19 years to go through all combinations.
and unless I'm mistaken
10^6 modern, state of the art GPUs would only reduce the time to
1.07x10^13 years.
so i was right the first time.
cracking strong passwords isnt a thing.
