ElcomSoft Releases an All-in-One Wi-Fi Cracking Solution

MOSCOW, September 23, 2010 - ElcomSoft Co. Ltd. upgrades Wireless Security Auditor, a wireless key
recovery solution for Wi-Fi networks, to being a true all-in-one wireless
cracking solution. Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor can automatically
locate wireless networks, intercept data packets, and crack WPA/WPA2 PSK
passwords. Adding the support of AirPCap family Wi-Fi adapters, ElcomSoft
Wi-Fi password recovery tool turns any modern laptop with discrete graphics
into a mobile wireless security audit system, and provides mobile forensic
and law enforcement units with access to protected wireless networks.

Background

The original version of Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor enabled
network administrators to perform timed attacks on their wireless networks in
order to determine how secure exactly their networks were. In order to
operate, it required ready-made dumps or wireless traffic. The dumps could be
made with a third-party "sniffer" running under Linux or Windows. The
requirement to use a third-party product limited the capabilities and ease of
use of Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor.

Integrated Wi-Fi Sniffer

Today, ElcomSoft is integrating a wireless sniffer into Elcomsoft
Wireless Security Auditor. The integrated sniffer turns Elcomsoft Wireless
Security Auditor into a one-button, all-in-one solution ready to be used by
corporate security officers without specific experience in information
security.

The integrated sniffer is utterly convenient. Displaying all available
wireless networks complete with channel numbers, MAC-addresses, SSID, speed,
load and encryption parameters, the sniffer connects to a selected Wi-Fi
network, and logs wireless traffic complete with "handshake" packets required
to starts the password recovery attack.

Laptop-Based Wireless Security Audit

The new built-in sniffer requires the use of a dedicated Wi-Fi adapter,
and supports AirPcap family of hot-pluggable wireless USB adapters. By
supporting AirPcap wireless USB adapters and including the new sniffer in the
package, ElcomSoft makes it possible to turn any modern laptop (*) into a
high-end wireless security audit system.

(*) Laptops with ATI or NVIDIA discrete graphics are recommended to
enable ElcomSoft GPU acceleration.

About Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor

Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor helps system administrators and
corporate security officers to audit wireless network security. The suite
attempts to recover the original plain-text password protecting Wi-Fi
communications via WPA/WPA2 PSK protocols for a certain time period, ensuring
or disclaiming network resistibility against the most advanced attacks.

Considering the increased security requirements found in WPA/WPA2
protected networks, Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor employs the
highest-performance dictionary-attack with advanced mutations to allow
carrying out a password audit within a limited timeframe.

The wireless cracking tool employs ElcomSoft GPU acceleration
technologies, using the massively parallel GPU units of modern ATI and NVIDIA
graphic accelerators to perform computational-intensive calculations. By
employing GPU acceleration, Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor becomes one
of the fastest and most cost-efficient Wi-Fi password recovery and wireless
security audit tools on the market.
