Ever wondered how secure the password to your Windows workstation is? Well, as it turns out, it's pretty insecure when put up against a 25-GPU server cluster running a combination of Linux and freely available password-cracking software suites. Said server, powered by 25 AMD Radeon graphics cards, manages to brute force Windows passwords at a rate of 350 billion guesses-per-second, making short work of eight-character passwords.
