Pyrit on AWS

You can trash password cracker performance on AWS all day, but it sure beats the pants off my $40 server.

What This Is All About

Pyrit is a GPU password cracking tool. I'm going to use it as a password recovery tool to see how long it takes to find my home network's password.

AWS is Amazon Web Services, the rent-a-supercomputer marketplace. You can rent all kinds of computers, but most interesting for our purposes, you can rent a GPU cluster.
