ElcomSoft Co. Ltd., a developer of state-of-the-art computer forensics tool announced that NVIDIA (News - Alert) Tesla, compact supercomputers based on NVIDIA GPU acceleration technologies is supporting its Distributed Password Recovery Solution(DPRS).

 

The new-generation Tesla S1070 Computing System helps in recovering variety of system and document passwords. It is 100 times faster in password recovery than by using modern dual or quad-core CPUs.

 

According to the Elcomsoft, its Distributed Password Recovery is a high-end solution for forensic and government agencies, data recovery and password recovery services and corporate users with multiple networked workstations connected over a LAN or the Internet.

 

Featuring unique acceleration technologies and providing linear scalability with no overhead, Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery offers the fastest password recovery by a huge margin, and is the most technologically advanced password recovery product.

 

It claims to have the capacity to retrieve a variety of system passwords such as NTLM and Windows startup passwords, crack MD5 hashes, unlock password-protected documents created by Microsoft Office 97-2007, PDF files created by Adobe Acrobat, as well as PGP, UNIX and Oracle (News - Alert) user passwords.

 

It employs a revolutionary, patent pending technology to accelerate password recovery when a compatible NVIDIA graphics card is present in addition to the CPU-only mode. Currently supporting all GeForce 8 and GeForce 9 boards, the acceleration technology offloads parts of computational-heavy processing onto the fast and highly scalable processors featured in the NVIDIA’s latest graphic accelerators.

 

This new technology allows the execution of mathematically intensive password recovery code on the massively parallel computational elements. This latest development revolutionizes the speed of password recovery without requiring expensive hardware.
