ElcomSoft Distributed Password Recovery

How GPU Acceleration Works

Using brute force attack to recover passwords, it is possible, though time-consuming, to recover passwords from popular applications with the power of the computer’s main CPU. For example, an eight-character Windows Vista logon password is as strong as about 55 trillion possible passwords. Windows Vista uses NTLM hashing by default, so using a modern dual-core PC you could try up to 10 million passwords per second, and perform a complete analysis in about two months. With ElcomSoft’s new GPU acceleration technology, the process would take only three to five days, depending upon the CPU and GPU.


password recovery speed

Until recently, graphic cards’ processing units could not be used for applications such as password recovery. Older graphics chips could only perform floating-point calculations of varying precision, while most cryptographic algorithms require precise fixed-point mathematics.

The recently introduced chips can process fixed-point calculations. With as much as 4 GB of onboard video memory and several hundred processing units, these powerful GPU chips are much more effective than CPUs in performing many of these calculations.

By utilizing the new processing power offered by today’s GPUs (currently, all GeForce 8, 9, 100, 200, 400-series GPUs and ATI Radeon 4000 and 5000-series GPUs are supported) ElcomSoft offers the recovery speed increase by a factor of twenty, simply by hooking up with a $150 video card’s onboard GPU. High-end PC motherboards can work with as many as four video cards, allowing for even faster password recovery applications for extremely modest increase in hardware costs.

Networking

Linear Scalability

Unlike competition, Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery is not ‘virtually’ or ‘practically’ linear in scalability. By doubling the number of PCs working on a password, you cut time required to recover a password by half.

By only transferring the bare minimum of information over the network, Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery allows for massively parallel operation, and scales linearly to as many as 10,000 workstations with no scalability overhead.

Distributed Recovery over LAN and Internet

Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery enables distributed work over the LAN, Internet, or both. Minimum bandwidth requirements ensure no scalability overhead even for the slowest connections.

Control via Management Console

The convenient management console allows controlling Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery from any networked PC.

Industry Certified

ElcomSoft has obtained numerous certifications over the years, maintaining the following certification levels: Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, Intel Software Partner, and NVIDIA Developer Support.

Ordering information

You can order fully registered version of Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery by credit card (online or by fax), with check/money order, by bank/write transfer or with purchase order. The cost of the license depends on the number of computers (clients) the server can work with.

Please note that the licenses are not "cumulative". That means that, for example, if you purchase two licenses for 20 accounts each, you still will not be able to manage 40 clients/agents from one console -- instead, you should purchase one 100-clients license. To install agents on 600 computers, you should get the 2500-clients license (but not one license on 500 clients plus another one for 100 clients), and vice versa.

We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club, and JCB. When you pay by credit card, your order will be processed immediately. Postal mail shipments are initiated immediately. Products available electronically are generally ready for download immediately, or no more than 48 hours after you place your order.

Using the online order form, you can also order the software with Solo/Switch/Maestro (only if issued in UK), by Bank/Wire Transfer, Online wire transfer (applicable only for orders placed within Germany in Euro), by Check (we accept all personal, business, and Cashier’s checks) or Cash.

Online orders are processed automatically and therefore more quickly than orders placed by fax, e-mail, or phone, because processing is not dependent on our customer service center’s business hours. But alternatively, you can order through customer service or with Purchase Order.
