 This table is just an example and not indicative of the actual time taken for hash cracking. A good understanding of multithreading and CUDA programming can even accelerate this by a factor.
 ## Success Rate of Hash Cracking
 Based on the calculations shown in the previous section, we're convinced that Hash Cracking is difficult. So, one question arises: why does an attacker attempt to crack a hash when it would take such a long time? When an attacker gains access to a list of Hash Protected Passwords (from a Compromised Database or any other method), they run a dictionary attack instead of brute force. Because the main aim here is to crack as many passwords as possible instead of targeting a specific one, the attacker would obtain passwords that were present in the wordlist. In such scenarios, the success rate of Hash Cracking is higher than expected.
