Hi folks,
I've been tasked with setting up a system to test the strength of WPA/WPA2 passwords, and I have a budget of a few thousand dollars to build something.
A remote user will (using besside-ng for example) to grab WPA handshakes, then upload them to whatever system we build to attempt to be cracked.
I have a few basic questions about getting started.
1. Is hashcat (or oclhashcat) the best tool for the job? (cracking WPA/WPA2 handshakes).
2. Is building a desktop/server system with multiple video cards truly the best solution? As opposed to using traditional servers (like a dell rack server, as we have several of these in the datacenter that could be repurposed already).
3. Another option is running a small cluster on EC2. Does anyone do this with hashcat, is it practical?
Thanks for your time.
