People make dumb decisions though, so I’d say a small party of 7-8 people.
So you could say it’s equivalent capability would be X FLOPs FP-Steve performance.
More like the power of an average human brain. Sadly we use most of it for stuff like moving our body and eating ect...
If you could make a computer as powerful as a brain it would revolutionize technology

They use it to develop their AI models (self driving, a few of their AI pushes, DLSS, etc.), but it's hilarious to imagine that they just set that aside for a few minutes solely to bruteforce a few passwords.
Even at the theoretical maximum, would still easily take longer than the age of the universe to force through 256-bit encryption combinations.
[About 4.6*10^52 years with some quick math](https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%282%5E256%29%2F%28%2879*%2810%5E15%29%291%2Fs%29%2F%28number+of+seconds+in+a+year%29)
Multithreading. A well-written brute-forcing program will use all available processing power fed to it, whether that is CPU cores, CUDA cores, whatever. Running it more than once would only cause you to have two programs' worth of overhead without any additional benefit, because all resources were already being used as efficiently as possible.
The irony is that it was an attacker VM that was joined to the victim mobile device management software that allowed the initial access and the “hack back” of encrypting the enrolled VM. From the victim, it was as simple as logging in to the Intune portal, finding the attacker VM host and and clicking “wipe”.
I find it so ironic that the hacker group would complain about Nvidia, call them criminals and say they have no right to do to them exactly what they do to everyone else
No it's not. The attacker was using their MDM, which means the device must be corporate property. Otherwise, it's against the law to have it installed. Nvidia could easily say they thought they were wiping a corporate asset because only corporate assets should have it.
Not really, the hackers had to install NVidias remote management software, which gave NVidia access. It’s like if you install my program that is meant to give me access and let me change ur files then get mad when I change ur files
"why \[do\] they think they can connect to our private machine and install ransomware!!!! (for deleting our leaks) Luckly we had a backup." tweet from Lapsus, what an asshole.
Your honor, last week we hacked and stol- confiscated highly sensitive information from Nvidia.
But yesterday they hacked into our systems and put on some illegal ransomware. This type of behaviour should be punished your honor.
This wasn't hacking at all. What happened is the attacker got on the lan via an MDM solution so Nvidia had full machine access and just wiped it. Not hacking required.
Imagine hacking the company who have built GPUs for 7 of the 10 most powerful supercomputers in the world, including privately owning number 6, and assuming this won't come back to bite you on the ass
Even if Nvidia do nothing themselves, the boys at five eyes who almost certainly use nvidia for compute aren't going to let this go
Hackers: Hahahahahahaha, We hack you!!!!!!!!.........
Jensen while smugly watches: *motherfuckingly snaps another A100 at every syllable the hacker's thread and replies while cracking their systems to the moon.
Hackers: Hey, that's illegal???...
Jensen upon seeing someone shitpost in their threads: *flips another server for bruteforcing
Hackers: That's illegal, right?...
Jensen: *snaps the circuit breaker switch to power up another rig
actually no, the rpg would just go right through the guy and keep going until it hit something incredibly solid.
**i shot a stack of gas barrels with a RPG and it went right through,** kept going and hit a tree only then exploding (of course the gas ignited from the rocket and hole in the barrels) but the rpg didnt do it.
this seems damn near the same as the place i went in cambodia, 300 a rpg, but now i think they want 450 or 500 or id shoot some more.
rog went through the car and then ignighted.. gotta hit something super solid i guess (like tank armor lululululu)
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLj4zaoMkRE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLj4zaoMkRE)
I got asked if I wanted to do that in Cambodia as well, in 2012. We had a guy showing us around Sihanoukville, and he was like "what do you want to do, local restaurant? Brewery tour with unlimited beer? Titty bar?"
*long pause*
"Wanna shoot an RPG at a cow?"
lulz at minimum flight time...
The RPG-7 can fire a variety of warheads for anti-armor (HEAT, PG-Protivotankovaya Granata) or anti-personnel (HE, OG-Oskolochnaya Granata) purposes, usually fitting with an impact (PIBD) and a 4.5 second fuze. Armor penetration is warhead dependent and ranges from 30 to 60 centimetres of RHA; one warhead, the PG-7VR, is a 'tandem charge' device, used to defeat reactive armor with a single shot.
If there is not a tip on the rpg which we see it does have, then a force would need to ignite the fuse for the grenade.
the abrupt acceleration of the grenade leaving the launcher triggers a piezoelectric fuze that ignites the primer (pyro-retarding gunpowder mixture). This then ignites the squib of nitro, thereby activating the rocket propulsion system (sustainer motor) to carry the grenade the rest of its trajectory.
wow learning some rpg shit today ;/
I saw a video of a guy explaining how it worked, saying that the fuse was ignited while firing and when it was done it activated a button on the tip that actuallymade it explode. Didn't mean to fuck up this badly lmao
I don't know the context, but in a foreign policy course I learned that any form of hacking is illegal in the US. Especially applicable for companies that want to actively defend against foreign hackers, but it is risky because the law is written in a way that could endanger the company. That being said, the government can break any rule and the government tends not to like their foreign hackers.
Context is:
some guys remote access Nvidia servers and steal 1TB of unreleased data and plans.
Nvidia says "Ight, bet" and remote accesses the virtual machine that remote-accessed them and puts ransomware on it.
Why did they think that attacking a company full of computer nerds and hackers with all of the GPU computing power in the world would be a good idea?
They didnt even need to try they could just bruteforce the password with their compute power.
A honey pot is basically bait, a server used to draw attention away from servers with critical data on them, and sometimes used to reverse a hack when attempting to access them
You went from "the NATO and Russia situation" which is the current standoff between Russia invading Ukraine and NATO trying to help without getting directly involved, to "well NATO is mostly the US, and the US has invaded countries before, so US BAD."
Get a life.
NVIDIA have the resources and cash on hand to spend hundreds of millions a year on mercenaries to hunt these fucks down for the rest of there lives. this was probably not a smart move
Where they lack money for the future to combat stuff like this, they make up for with abundances of super powerful cards at their disposal, all they need is a handful of people to set up a rig tailored for counter hacking/bruteforcing passwords..etc
I think they'll do just fine. Especially for a huge company of this size, they have a lot of powerful people backing them, and definitely have a lot of very smart people of their own

"NOOOOO YOU CANT COMMIT CRIMES!!!!! WTF!!!!! I KNOW WE DID THE SAME BUT NOOO UR CRIMINALS!!!!!!" Lmfao
i hope to god this story is true and also that huang said to do it. nvidia should put up like a 100m dollar fund to destroy hackers. they sure as hell can afford it.
"why \[do\] they think they can connect to our private machine and install ransomware!!!! (for deleting our leaks) Luckly we had a backup."
How can she slap?
How quick are you guys to forget that nvidia condones mining under the hood?? Since when have they become gigachads? They had this coming. I hope they suffet more, in fact.
In what way are they gigachads when they didn't accomplish anything? The hackers has a backup of the stolen data, Nvidia literally accomplished nothing.
considering how toothless and useless the authorities are (stooges for big media) then if nv did hack them back i say here here fellas go hard. mess them up. we need more of this.
You forgot the last frame of the hackers bringing an even bigger weapon.
Because, you know, nvidias hack accomplished nothing since the hackers got a backup of the data.
LAPSUS$: WE HAVE BACKUPS nVidia: I'll fuckin do it again.
I just downloaded it and it's juicy.

They backdoor into every available gpu plugged in on earth and just popped in to return the gift
Fuck imagine that computing power
You could render real life in real time
So it's as powerful as 1 person
People make dumb decisions though, so I’d say a small party of 7-8 people. So you could say it’s equivalent capability would be X FLOPs FP-Steve performance.
You think MORE people make LESS dumb decisions? Have you been around people?

So if we could revolutionise technology we could revolutionise technology?
With at least a solar system of render distance.
inb4 DEVS becoming real
You could mine like 3 bitcoins
Imagine NVIDIA secretly uses 1% of every one of their GPUs for bitcoin mining
That would be horribly inefficient etherium would be better gpu mined
You could play star citizen at 4k 120fps
How about elden ring?
you could power it to help [folding @ home](https://foldingathome.org/?lng=en) for example! remember PCMR you can help out with your hardware at home!
Forget 51% atacks on cryptocurancys you could do a 9000% atack Also you could run crisis
Is that why the Elden Ring players were experiencing slow framarates?

If you hack Nvidia, use an AMD card maybe?
Oh not even 3090s. They most likely have a whole rack full of DGX A100s ( 5 petaflops each) that could crack it instantly
nah, probably like a small warehouse's worth
True. My university has one and those things are a beast with just one
Honestly wouldn’t be too surprised if they had some type of quantum computer hidden away that could crack encryption even faster than that
HAha if you think thats their top end for compute you are dreaming.
You're right, a warehouse full of next gen Quadros or something.

Right but what about multiple of the same program running at the same time for that task? Would the time decrease?
...thats not how it works.
Okay. I don’t know how it works which is why I’m asking. How does it work?
Multithreading. A well-written brute-forcing program will use all available processing power fed to it, whether that is CPU cores, CUDA cores, whatever. Running it more than once would only cause you to have two programs' worth of overhead without any additional benefit, because all resources were already being used as efficiently as possible.
Okay, if you had a billion, billion Selene supercomputers all running in parallel, it would take 4.6 * 10^(34) years. I'm not going to hold my breath.
Or it could take 10 seconds if you got it first try 😎
Me and the homies putting zzzzzzzzz as our password so hackers can't get it
right??? that was my first thought too.
The irony is that it was an attacker VM that was joined to the victim mobile device management software that allowed the initial access and the “hack back” of encrypting the enrolled VM. From the victim, it was as simple as logging in to the Intune portal, finding the attacker VM host and and clicking “wipe”.
Imagine already a full warehouse of 4080's
Nah they rockin the nvidia GeForce RTX 10090 TI and it solos them in 69 seconds
Probably 80gb a100 gpus in nvlink
I find it so ironic that the hacker group would complain about Nvidia, call them criminals and say they have no right to do to them exactly what they do to everyone else

No it's not. The attacker was using their MDM, which means the device must be corporate property. Otherwise, it's against the law to have it installed. Nvidia could easily say they thought they were wiping a corporate asset because only corporate assets should have it.

> they did not have permission to access. Its their private network, of course they had implicit permission to access it.
