You have no idea what you're talking about. Botnets are almost entirely ISP router/modem combo devices.

Hashcat was proposed over 20 years ago. You really think out of all the tens of thousands of security engineers working on this problem, nobody has ever considered it? Get a grip.

I hate how this website incentivizes people to try to make posts that sound smart instead of posting stuff they're actually knowledgeable about.

Above you say they are IoT devices. I don't mean 'gotcha', but to learn: What does the population of botnet devices consist of?

This comment violates probably about a dozen different parts of the HN guidelines[1]. You should calm down with the ad-hominems and substance-less claims and give the guidelines a read, then come back and make an actual argument.
