The latest version of the cracking utility by ElcomSoft’s Distributed Password Recovery takes cracking to the next level. Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery (EDPR) allows using laptop, desktop or server computers equipped with supported NVIDIA video cards to break Wi-Fi encryption up to 100 times faster than by using CPU only.
A GPU is an ASIC type processor. ASIC processors are much faster than CPU’s because they are geared towards doing one specific type of task.
Though Elcomsoft’s EDPR is still a brute-force crack, but only a few packets needed to be sniffed, and the GPU accelerates the algorithm used to generate keys significantly, even laptop-grade 8800M and 9800M GPUs speed things up 10 to 15 times, though without dictionary words being involved, cracking WPA2 is still quite intensive, perhaps three months to crack a lowercase-only random eight-character password using a PC with two NVIDIA GTX 280 video cards. There are around 200 billion passphrases possibilities in this format, and some substantial hashing overhead to turn a passphrase into the WPA/WPA2 key material.
