Wednesday, April 1st, 2009Fresh life experience…A very good friend of mine told me a story I would like to share with you with her kind permission. Recently she has found a new job in a medium size company. She was perfectly satisfied with her new position and new tasks.

Implementation of this belief to password recovery was not easy, at least 200 ritual dances have been performed during the development stage. Finally,
ElcomSoft is proud to announce that the ultimate tool to recover lost passwords that cannot be recovered it in a traditional way has emerged.
Pen Testing with Distributed Password Recovery and GPUs
Thursday, March 19th, 2009The German c’t magazine (issue 06/09) has published an article about cracking of NTLM-hashes with graphic cards. In this article pen test experts from SySS GmbH bring up a touchy question of how fast an intruder can break into your system. How long should your Windows logon password be, so that you could keep having your beauty sleep?
Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery was run on dual-core AMD Athlon X2 4850e, 2.5 GHz, with Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX installed. The cost of the test system is worth the effort. One can fetch it for only $1K.
Now, what is the outcome?
