I know you meant backups can protect against ransomware, but it would be pretty funny if ZFS included a ransomware password cracker

Depending on the depth of the ransomware a simple “zfs rollback” will fix all your problems.

30? What? Holy moly!

Does this mean that 1 RTX4090 can do it in a week?:)

Not sure if they have this specific GPU or not, but I know AWS has on-demand instances with GPUs (and other cloud providers like Google likely do as well). It’s probably just a matter of time before somebody deploys self-service images so a business that got hit by this ransomware could quickly recover on their own.

So stick to wibbly wobbly, timey wimey encryption? Got it.

It breaks old-timey encryption.

It’s nice to know that 4090s won’t break new timey encryption in that amount of time.
