Passware, a provider of password recovery, decryption and electronic evidence discovery software, has unveiled Kit 10, which accelerates distributed password recovery using both graphics processing units (GPUs) and Tableau TACC1441 hardware.
The company said that Passware Kit 10 uses the computing power of multiple computers to achieve superior performance, which divides the password recovery process among multiple computers running Passware Kit Agents.
Passware claims that law enforcement and government agencies, institutions, corporations and private investigators can reduce the time-consuming process of cracking strong passwords by leveraging the power of hardware-accelerated distributed password recovery.
The Distributed Password Recovery can be applied to over 40 different file types, including ones with strong encryption, such as MS Office documents, Zip and RAR archives, and TrueCrypt containers, the company said.
Dmitry Sumin, president of Passware, said: “Once considered a lengthy process, recovering a strong password is made much easier because of Passware Kit’s ability to connect multiple computers to one password recovery process.
“Distributing the process among many computers dramatically improves its speed. The added support of different hardware accelerators, like Tableau TACC and nVidia GPU graphic cards, allows companies with a network of workstations to leverage the computing power of all this hardware to recover the password efficiently and effectively.”
