How to Configure a Bruteforce Attack

Choose your charset and password length, review the keyspace estimate, and launch a targeted GPU attack against your hash.

A bruteforce attack tests every possible combination within a defined keyspace. Use it when wordlist attacks have not found the password and you have a reasonable hypothesis about the character set or length. The configurator shows you the exact number of candidates and an estimated duration before you pay.

1
Submit your hash

Paste your hash into the submission form. The free Basic Search runs automatically. If the password is not found and you want to go further, open the task from your dashboard and click View Options.

Configure charset and length

In the Bruteforce Configurator, select the charset and the minimum and maximum password length. The summary updates in real time:

  • Charset — lowercase (a–z), uppercase (A–Z), digits (0–9), symbols, or any combination
  • Length range — minimum and maximum number of characters to test
  • Keyspace — total number of candidates (charset size ^ length), computed automatically
  • Estimated duration — based on the algorithm hashrate and keyspace; shown before any payment

Example: charset = Digits (0–9), length 1–8 → keyspace = 111,111,110 candidates.

Review, pay, and follow up

Review the estimated duration and cost. If you are satisfied, confirm payment to start the job. Payment is required upfront and is non-refundable once GPU resources have been consumed.
