hothardware.com — Russian-based ElcomSoft has just released ElcomSoft Wireless Security Auditor 1.0, which can take advantage of both Nvidia and ATI GPUs. ElcomSoft claims that the software uses a "proprietary GPU acceleration technology," which implies that neither CUDA, Stream, nor OpenCL are being utilized in this instance.

But can they run Crysis?

If manufacturers set up login latency to 1sec, users won't recognize anything, but it makes this hack useless I guess.

WPA2-PSK coupled with MAC filtering should ensure complete safety.

I'd rather give people a way to create their own secure passwords. Try:PWLEN=63 #change this number as needed. This is the length of the passworddd if=/dev/random bs=1 count=$PWLEN 2>/dev/null | base64 | head -c $PWLEN && echoKeep moving your mouse, use the keyboard wildly (on other terminal), have the HD/CD reading something... This will give you a random password, using the entropy from your actions. Most *nixes should have /dev/random acting like this.

Blocking MAC addresses from accessing not enough? I mean, just as long they don't connect physically.It is what they did in a certain college from California who shall not be named. Someone could easily packet sniff for MAC addresses, change it, and boom you got wireless access.They don't do that anymore though, I told them. I was a guest there and showed them how easy it was. Sorry!

uhhhh well, and this is only from reading the title, perhaps it has something to do with revolutionary new software that takes advantage of a video cards GPU as opposed to the standard practice of using the CPU.
