Abstract
Today, WLANs are the most outstanding systems to connect the devices of home and business environments. WPA/WPA2 PSK protocol is the dominant authentication protocol for most of WLANs, represented in small or non-professional networks. Cracking WPA/WPA2 PSK efficiency is mainly depending on the cracking speed. The shared memory parallel computing model is one of the used methods in enhancing WPA/WPA2 PSK cracking. In this paper, we will adapt our implemented single threaded cracking tool on GPU and Multi-Core processor to make use of their parallel platforms. The measurements result shows that the cracking speed is enhanced to be 16X using multi threaded code and 41x using GPU code on a normal machine parallel platforms.
