This was inspired by the excellent work of Hive Systems. I wanted to know how some other algorithms measured up, specifically the Windows password hash algorithm. So this page will generate a table for any hash speed that you want. If you didn't know, Windows is still using the same password hash algorithm that was first introduced with Windows NT 3.1 in 1993!
