[ophcrack] Password cracker 100 times faster with an SSD

Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

The security specialist Objectif Sécurité has optimised its rainbow tables – a common tool used to crack password hashes – to make use of SSDs. The result is, according to Objectif Sécurité's Philippe Oechslin, an acceleration by a factor of 100 when compared to their old 8GB Rainbow Tables for XP hashes. A web form takes the XP-hashes and cracks them for free with the new, ten times larger tables.

Oechslin has fitted an elderly Athlon 64 X2 4400+ with an SSD and the optimised tables. This system can, with only a 75% CPU utilisation, crack a 14 digit password with special characters, in an average of 5.3 seconds. Oechslin says that, worst case, it should be able to search arithmetically through 300 billion passwords per second, a speed that is a factor of 500 faster than an Elcomsoft cracker supported by a modern Tesla GPU from NVIDIA.

Calculations with rainbow tables achieve the acceleration by pre-computing the intermediate steps of all possible password hashes for a specific algorithm and then storing those results as a table. The more steps that are stored, the bigger the tables and the faster the cracking process. Once the tables no longer fit in memory, the less-used parts of the tables are saved on mass storage devices, previously this would have been a hard disk, which in turn leads to slower access times while searching them.

de un miliard de ori am zis ca mi fac si eu rainbow ul..si .. cand vad cat tre sa stau .. imi vine a phu..

nu are rost sa-ti faci inca.

acum lucrez la un gpu-rainbowtable generator, inca nu stiu cand il gat(e in alfa), dar va fi de ~30 ori mai rapid ca un cpu.

Pana gat tot, keep your pants on.

tutorialul site <- vezi paci pana una alta.
