  • Stuff A Lot Of Brute Power On Your FPGA To Crack A MD5 Password

    In today´s article we present a project developed by students of the University of Illinois. This guy and his partner used the parallel power of the FPGA to create a hardware system which basically consisted of 16 MD5 cracking units-which were able to produce more than 700 million hashes per minute-, a keyboard control system…

  • Use Your FPGA To Build A Password Cracker!

      Here we have a project developed by a German guy who wanted to get a 100 EUR device that could do 10 million key guesses per second. The main point of this design is to use multiple crypt cores in order to reduce the time needed to crack a UNIX Crypt. A modified DES…
