ElcomSoft:one-touch WiFi cracking system


It's been a few years since we checked in with Elcomsoft's Wireless Security Auditor WiFi cracking software. As you'd expect, things have become easier, much easier. Elcomsoft now has an all-in-one solution that will locate wireless networks, intercept data packets, and crack WAP/WPA2 PSK passwords from any modern laptop with a discrete ATI AMD or NVIDIA graphics card. Here's the quote IT nerds will surely we love:
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.
Call us crazy, but if you're a C-level security officer with no specific information security experience then maybe you shouldn't be sniffing people's data packets. Then again, we're sure ElcomSoft will happily sell their $1,199 pro software or $399 standard edition to any hacker willing to pay, white hat or not.


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.
