Last night we made some major changes to our automated WPA/WPA2 wireless network capture analysis tool. In the beginning of our service it took around 3.5 hours to process any WPA capture file uploaded against our wordlist of a billion combinations. Around 3 months ago we made an improvement in hardware that improved the 3.5 hour process time to 2.25 hours to process a WPA capture against our premium wordlist. Starting today it will now take less than an hour to process WPA/WPA2 wireless network captures against or billion combination wordlist! These improvements will allow us to make a large amount of additions to our primary WPA dictionary that we have been waiting to do so process time was not heavily impacted.

The improvements made in the past couple of days also put down the groundwork for the changes to all of our automated hash crackers that we have been talking about for quite some time. Look for changes and a bunch of additions in the near future which will include tons of new hash types that we can process including MD5(Unix), MySQL, and Domain Cached Credentials (v1 and v2). Also the amount of combinations we can process and the speed at which they are processed will be greatly improved. Once the initial brute force methods are brought online we will also be adding options to select various rules or rulesets instead of brute forcing which improve results many fold. If you have specific hash types, character combinations, or rulesets you would like to see offered please drop us a line.

Please encourage others to use more secure passwords. With the technologies progressing as rapidly as they are there are not going to be any passwords under 12 chars that are safe in the very near future.

Just wanted to mention that we have the capabilities to process up to 1,000 hashes at a time. If you are interested in us running a large number of hashes (md4, md5, sha1, or ntlm) against a certain character set please contact us via our contact form.
