NVIDIA GPUs + Elcom Distributed Password Recovery software make WiFi passwords super easy to crack

It isn’t the first time that we’ve heard that NVIDIA GPUs are used to crack passwords, as they’re simply too powerful with their parallel processing power. And now used with a software tool – the Elcom Password recovery, making it much easier and faster to crack the passwords of WiFi networks, so you get free WiFi all the time.

The Elcom Distributed Password Recovery might sound little pricey to some people, which costs $600 (for a minimum of 5 clients). But in long terms it will save your pocket for paying Internet access and WiFi.

The Elcom tool is capable of cracking passwords for many applications. The crackable formats include Microsoft Office, PGD (PGP Disk with conventional encryption), OpenDocument, PDF (both user and owner’s passwords) Quicken, WPA, WPA2 and many more.

With the assistance of the Nvidia GPU and its powerful parallel processing environment CUDA, it’s so much easier to crack a couple of them especially for Office, Windows login, MD5, WPA and WPA2 etc. With GPU, it’s about 20 to 100 times faster than without the GPU! Please note the Elcom tool is specially made for the forgetful ones to recover their passwords. It’s not meant for you to get free WiFi.

VISA card now comes with keypad, generates random security code

It was last year Innovative Card Technologies and eMue Technologies introduced the credit card that comes with its own authentication system, and now Visa Europe has rolled out their newly designed credit card which comes with similar authentication system. (VISA may have purchased those cards from the two companies)

The new credit card introduced by VISA comes with a keypad, and a digital number display. The card is exactly the usual size and there is also a magnetic strip that can be used with conventional card readers. At the back of the credit card, you don’t get the traditional security code number. Instead, you key your pin number on its keypad to get to generate a random security code on the digital display.

You can then enter this one-time security code while making a purchase online. This is definitely much more secure than the traditional security code, as no one could simply guess what the card has generated.

Fujitsu introduces world’s first wraparound view for vehicles
