Popis: The encryption of WPA & WPA2 is the present and security protection for the wireless LAN. With the vigorous development of parallel computing (GPU), the speed of cryptanalysis is rising up and getting more popular which causes the great threat to the Wi-Fi security. It is time-consuming for the wireless passwords analysis for the huge total combinations of 9563 max. Now, it is the turning point that the leap progress of GPU makes the Wi-Fi cryptanalysis much more efficient than before. In this research, we proposed a much faster speed (270,000 PMKs/s) compared to those in years, and the speed of computing PMKs/s is the major crucial factor and base for the mainstream of wireless passwords attacks, such as brute force, dictionary, time-memory trade-off (rainbow attack), and the generations of dictionary files.
