13:42 The hacker demonstrated the "cloud" software to crack wifinetworks at the conference black hat | |
| It seems that Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the right hands can be a very powerful tool to crack the most secure wireless networking. Basically, it's obvious, but the other day on network security expert named Thomas Roth at the Black Hat conference, presented the public he created the software, "sharpened" by Amazon Web Services, intended to crack protected WiFi-networks. By the way, a secure WiFi network WPA-PSK with a neighboring company Tom's organization was broken to them in 20 minutes. Leased by Tom Power on AWS and Services Elastic Compute Cloud helped Tom Roth access to several secure wireless networks, by identifying the key. According to the developer, the performance of its leased facilities at AWS allowed to touch about 400,000 passwords per second. All this, according to Tom, jeopardizing the safety of wireless networks as separate companies, and home users. Up to Tom Roth, several experts on network security have worked with Amazon EC2 to demonstrate a variety of security vulnerabilities to networks, but he was the first able to show that the WiFi network can be fairly easy to hack, using a powerful tool and software. Their achievements expert demonstrated at the conference Black Hat, which has consistently demonstrated a unique technology hacking that were considered impossible. Before the clouds appeared on Amazon, bruteforce the keys secure WiFi-networks was considered, if not impossible, it is quite complicated and lengthy process. And now, as we see, crack even the most well protected WiFi-network can be as little as 20 minutes (a wireless network with neighbors Tom Roth was protected very well, because its neighbors - the same network security professionals). Their software and methodology Tom gave the participants of the conference and posted online, saying that all this is not done to break the law, but in order to warn the system administrator. Since the release of its software and technology, hacker software updated, and now believes that the WiFi network of high security can be hacked in about 6 minutes. Via Yahoo | |
