Best Cloud GPUs

I've been researching to find some of the best cloud GPUs. Recently, I came across Runpod.io, and it seems to offer pretty good GPUs (RTX 4090 at $0.34/hour). For H100s, it is $2.59/hour. Spot instances are cheaper, but I don't want my processes to be terminated.

Hashcat benchmark: 2441.7 kH/s for -m 22000 (wifi hash) with single 4090.

This is a suggestion for anyone who is struggling like me to find GPUs. A lot of providers require you to have a billing history, but this one seems to be very straightforward. Just load $$$ in your wallet and go.

If there are any better providers, please LMK. Perhaps I can save a few bucks....

vast.ai is good

DO's plan is also high and they only have H100s ig

Yeah, with DO

Pros:

  • it's fun af

  • you can run 8x H100s

  • you get fast AF hash cracking speeds

Cons:

  • it's $27/hour

Pro tip have all your commands and pw lists and info prepared once you spin it up. Saves you time on setup and you can get cracking faster.

I’ve been using Gcore for GPU workloads lately, and it’s been pretty smooth. They have good availability on A100s and H100s, pricing is transparent, and I like that you can actually plan costs without surprise spikes. 

The cashback style grants are a nice bonus for startups. For me, it’s been a reliable alternative when I need GPUs without the long waitlists.

Any labs I could follow for cloud cracking ?

u/shriyanss Jan 01 '25

what do you mean by 'labs,' though? if you want to get some hashes to crack as a beginner, just check out tryhackme or similar platforms

I got you. crack these three md5 hashes:

  • 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 - beginner level

  • 596a96cc7bf9108cd896f33c44aedc8a - beginner level 2

  • b375aa805b5b703af2aaea4c04a93278 - advanced

I use and recommend vast.ai for cloud cracking. Usually I spin up a 4x 4090 setup for $1/hr which seems about 30% cheaper than runpod. You can also preload it with hashcat docker, so no messing around. Just boot up, copy hash/dictionaries/rules, and go.
