0 Online Attack 0%
Bruteforcing a password over the internet.
20 Super Computer 20%
A high performance computer - not typically "off the shelf".
40 Standard Computer 40%
A standard performance computer - one that can be purchased at any retail store.
60 Array Attack 60%
Clustering servers together to harness the power of all all the processors.
80 Bovine Attack 80%
One of the beefiest processing machines around. Combining the processing power of a few thousand computers, the Bovine can attempt around 1 trillion attacks per second.
100 This Server Attack 100
This is an average grade server capable of around 10 million attacks a second not over the internet.

Bruteforce cracking is always the last resort to figuring out passwords. Its not the slowest, but it takes the longest to complete.

Think of bruteforce cracking like finding a needle in a haystack where your password is the needle and all possible combinations of characters is the haystack.

If your password only contains numbers, the the haystack will be made of only numbers. Given theres only 10 numbers (0 to 9) it wont take very long to figure your password out. If your all numeric password is only 8 characters long, it would take only seconds to test every possible combination of numbers from 00000000 to 99999999. The computer that this website is hosted from (a.k.a. server) can make around 10 million attempts per second. So, in less than 10 seconds, this server could crack a 8 character password consisting of only numbers.

Online vs. Offline

Online

An online attack (over the internet) is typically the slowest attack method. It can only attack as fast as the slowest hop along the way - and most overcome some possible hurdles.

Like a military convoy - online attacks can only go as fast as the slowest member. Even if the attacker had a huge server farm dedicated to cracking passwords over the internet, it can only attack at the speed of the slowest computer/server along the way. So, if the mark (system being attacked) is a computer (for simplicity) form the early 1990's (Pentium 100 processor) that trillion dollar server farm can only attempt a few dozen attempts per second.

Now, if that same server farm was targeting another server farm, its slowest link is the data connection between the two servers. The further away the server farms are, the slower the data connection. Attempts per second would most likly be a few hundred.

Offline

Offline does not mean no internet connection, it just means that the attacking computer has the encrypted/hashed password and does not need to send its attacks over the internet to see if the 'guess' matches the password.

When an attacker is bruteforcing a password offline - it significantly speeds up the process. The attacking machine no longer has to send the possible password to anther machine to see if it is a match.

In this type of situation, the slowest link is also the fastest link - the attackers computer. The better the computer, the faster it an bruteforce passwords.
