I know I'm in the minority, but my GPUs are used almost exclusively for password cracking. I've got ASICs for the crypto mining.

I was not doing that type of work so I'm not sure what type of software was used but I think it had multiple open source programs available.
Did you know that if you're on a Windows network, random machines all around you will just try to authenticate to you, and disclose the hash of the user on the system? Plug in on a Ethernet jack in the lobby, or conference room, get onto the wifi, compromise any machine on the network and run responder or inveigh, and you just get dumps of user passwords, and if you can crack any of them, its a pretty quick path up to Domain Admin on the network, which then can dump everyone's hashes.
