Russians start selling Wi-Fi encryption cracker
The Russian security company that caused a stir some months by talking up its cracking tool for recovering Wi-Fi encryption keys, has started selling its software to all-comers in a specially packaged product.
Normally, running a tool to do this on a conventional Intel Core 2 Duo desktop PC would take months to brute force even a single 8-character WPA/WPA2-PSK password, of which there are trillions of possible alpha-numeric combinations at that bit length.
Elcomsoft claims that Wireless Security Auditor 1.0 can perform the same function by capturing traffic from a Wi-Fi connection using a separate packet sniffer, processing the data through up to four high-end graphics cards in order to retrieve the password in a fraction of that time.
