Configure a targeted brute-force search
Choose the character set and password length to test, then review the keyspace, duration and estimated cost before you start.
Use only hashes you own or are explicitly authorized to test.
A brute-force search tests every possible combination in a defined keyspace. Use it when other searches have not found the password and you have a reasonable hypothesis about its character set or length. The configurator shows the candidate count and estimated duration before payment.

Submit an authorized hash
Paste your hash into the submission form. A free Basic Search runs automatically. If it does not find a result and you want to continue, open the task from your dashboard and choose View Options.

Choose a character set and length
In the Bruteforce Configurator, select the character set and minimum and maximum password lengths. The configurator computes the keyspace and estimates duration from the algorithm hashrate.
- Character set - lowercase, uppercase, digits, symbols, or a combination.
- Length range - minimum and maximum number of characters.
- Keyspace - character-set size raised to each tested length.
- Estimated duration - derived from the keyspace and algorithm hashrate.
Example: digits (0–9), length 1–8 → 111,111,110 candidates.

Review the estimate and start the job
Check the estimated duration and cost before confirming payment. Jobs begin within 24 hours of payment confirmation. GPU time is non-refundable once consumed; email notification is sent when the job completes.
- Jobs begin within 24 hours after payment confirmation.
- Priority Queue can move the task forward when activated.
- Email notification arrives when processing completes, whether found or not.
- Recovered results appear in your dashboard.
