This post benchmarks password-cracking on AWS P2 GPU instances versus local CPU/GPU setups using Kali and Hashcat, shows launch steps and an AWS instance limit workaround, highlights a CUDA compatibility performance warning, and concludes that cloud GPUs are convenient for short, urgent tasks but are cost-inefficient for long-term cracking compared to building a local rig.
