Hi,

I'm doing some research in security and I would like to know, from someone more expert, how long would take to someone to crack with a brute force, a 116 bits password with 1 milion key transformation rounds (so, hashed 1 million times)?

How long with one computer and how long with many computers (let's say 100)?

I guess it should take years, but how much, more or less?
 
Yeah, I will concur with @mangaman and say this borders too closely on hacking. Although this is a potentially scholarly topic, I don't think it belongs on Tom's. Thread closed.
