Description-en: GPGPU-driven WPA/WPA2-PSK key cracker
Pyrit allows one to create massive databases, pre-computing part of the
WPA/WPA2-PSK authentication phase in a space-time-tradeoff. Exploiting the
computational power of many-core- and other platforms through ATI-Stream,
Nvidia CUDA, OpenCL, and VIA Padlock, it is currently by far the most powerful
attack against one of the world's most used security-protocols.
.
This package contains the basic version of Pyrit, with support for MMX, SSE2
and VIA PADLOCK detected at run-time. Support for the non-free technologies
Nvidia CUDA, ATI-Stream, and OpenCL can be added through extensions. If
packaged, these should be available in the contrib section with names in the
form of "pyrit-*.
