FPGA-Accelerated Hashcat
Cybersecurity demands raw power. We ported Hashcat, the reference tool for password cracking, onto our FPGA platform to demonstrate the power of our infrastructure.
What we did
- Benchmarked Hashcat on FPGA vs CPU vs GPU
- Multi-algorithm — SHA256, bcrypt, WPA2, NTLM
- Kernel optimization to maximize throughput
- Automated deployment via our CI/CD pipeline
Results
Our FPGA platform achieved top-tier scores on Hashcat benchmarks. The price-performance ratio is excellent compared to equivalent GPU solutions.
Elite security performance, deployed in minutes via a standard DevOps pipeline.
Why it matters
- Security auditing — test password robustness at scale
- Penetration testing — execution speed is critical
- Cryptography research — rapid iteration on algorithms
