We were talking about it in the news, and testing even on this page, the first discovery of software passwords used Elcomsoft GPU acceleration chip NVIDIA. A second product of the Russian publisher, focusing this time on the passwords for WiFi coverage is now also able to use graphics chips from ATI.

The Wireless Security Auditor software goes further: it can exploit the Radeon HD 3000 and 4000, and even use multiple GPUs, even different, to conduct its tests massive password. Recall that Elcomsoft technique is rather simple, it is a "brute force attack", which is to try all possible passwords for getting the right sesame.

The software in question uses a dictionary to try first the passwords most frequent or consistent, but this discovery can still be very long. All depend on the password that the user has chosen. We recall on this subject that we must focus on long series of letters and numbers completely random, even if other traditional passwords are easier to remember.

ATI faster for this application
Surprise, for once in GPGPU, the latest chips from ATI seem to be more effective than NVIDIA in this type of password. It must be said that the "brute force attack" is the most simple steps to achieve (testing a password) simultaneously. And in this exercise little complex, the 800 units of processing the Radeon HD 4870 appear to be gaining numerical superiority in the face of 240 stream processors of the GeForce GTX 280.

Examine Wireless Network Security
Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor allows network administrators to verify how secure a company’s wireless network is by executing an audit of accessible wireless networks. Featuring patent-pending cost-efficient GPU acceleration technologies, Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor attempts to recover the original WPA/WPA2-PSK text passwords in order to test how secure your wireless environment is.

Features and Benefits

• Determine how secure your wireless network is
• Test the strength of WPA/WPA2-PSK passwords protecting your wireless network
• Save time with patent-pending GPU acceleration technology when one or more compatible NVIDIA or ATI video cards are present
• Run advanced dictionary attacks with highly configurable variations
• Perform attacks from inside or outside of your network

How Secure Is Your Wireless Network?
A single weak link poses a valid security threat to the entire corporate network. Wireless (Wi-Fi) networks can provide sufficient security if configured properly and accompanied by an adequate password policy. Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor exposes security problems in your wireless network to allow network administrators taking appropriate measures and adopting a proper password policy.

Wireless Network Security Audit
Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor examines the security of your wireless network by attempting to break into the network from outside or inside. Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor works completely in off-line, undetectable by the Wi-Fi network being probed, by analyzing a dump of network communications in order to attempt to retrieve the original WPA/WPA2-PSK passwords in plain text.

Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor allows carrying out a password audit within a limited timeframe. Representing state-of-the-art in password recovery, Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor is one of the fastest and most advanced tools for recovering Wi-Fi passwords. If Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor fails to recover a Wi-Fi password within a reasonable time, the entire wireless network can be considered secure.

GPU Acceleration
ElcomSoft has pioneered many software innovations that have made it easier to recover passwords protecting various types of resources. For the first time in the industry, the company’s patent-pending GPU acceleration makes its way into Wi-Fi password recovery, reducing the time required to recover Wi-Fi passwords up to a hundred times. Supporting up to four NVIDIA boards such as GeForce 8, 9, and 200, as well as ATI video cards such as RADEON HD 3000 Series and up, Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor allows building servers with supercomputer performance at a fraction of the price.

Types of Attacks
Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor performs an advanced dictionary search attack in order to expose weak passwords consisting of words and phrases in spoken languages. Allowing highly customizable mutations of ordinary dictionary words, Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor performs hundreds of mutations to each word in order to ensure the widest coverage.

Compatibility with Other Elcomsoft Products
If one of your network workstations is compromised and a malicious person gets network access to at least one system, it may not even be necessary for an attacker to be physically close to the wireless network in order to obtain full access to data sent and received. A password hash is normally stored in the Windows Registry, and can be retrieved remotely for off-line analysis.

Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor can simulate attacks from the inside by automatically importing saved password hashes as retrieved by Elcomsoft Proactive System Password Recovery. This kind of attacks allows determining how secure your wireless network is to insider attacks.

A key to 8 characters [az, AZ, 0-9] can be found only in 220 years (with 31,500 tests / s) (16 million to 251 char).
A key 16 will be 4.8 E 016 years.
A key 64 will be 5.20 E 102 years.

For the proton is 10 ^ 30 years.

You may be right. However at that speed, the software is virtually useless in practice at that price!
