I've got an old datacenter KVM with a root password I've been unable to crack, even though it's an ancient DES one.

Does anyone have a good cloud-hosted password cracker? I can't seem to brute force it, no matter how long I let John the ripper run.

An EC2 instance with lots of cores like a c6i.32xlarge should do the trick, no? You could even pay for spot instances and just checkpoint frequently and copy the progress file to S3 when you get the interruption warning.
