Pyrit is a GPU cracker for attacking WPA/WPA2 PSK protocols. It allows to create massive databases, pre-computing part of the WPA/WPA2-PSK authentication phase in a space-time-tradeoff. Pyrit works with many platforms including CUDA, ATI-Stream, OpenCL and VIA Padlock.
How to
Listing available cores
pyrit list_cores
Determining performance of cores
pyrit benchmark
Create a new ESSID
pyrit -e Linksys create_essid
Import list of passwords
pyrit -f dict.txt import_passwords
Start Batch Processing
pyrit batch
Cracking WPA/WPA2-PSK using pyrit/coWPAtty
pyrit -e “Linksys” -f dict.txt passthrough | cowpatty -d – -r wpa2handshake.cap -s “Linksys“
“-e” ESSID for the command
“-f” Filename for the command (’-’ is stdin/stdout)
“-d” Hash file
“-” Accept words on stdin
“-r” Packet capture file
“-s” Network SSID
