Elcomsoft uses new hardware to speed up password recovery

Elcomsoft announced the support of Tableau TACC1441 hardware to accelerate the recovery of Wi-Fi passwords and password-protected iPhone and iPod backups.

The use of a single Tableau TACC1441 device allows Elcomsoft products to recover passwords significantly faster compared to Intel top of the line quad-core CPUs while drawing very little power. Attaching several Tableau TACC1441 devices results in a gain in performance.

Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor and Elcomsoft iPhone Password Breaker are the first commercially available products to support such a wide range of password breaking acceleration hardware including units manufactured by Tableau, ATI, and NVIDIA.

The support of Tableau TACC1441 allows Elcomsoft password recovery products to be used more productively in forensic environments, during investigations, and by the government organizations having existing inventories of Tableau TACC1441 devices. Empowered with one or more Tableau TACC1441 devices, Elcomsoft products are able to demonstrate password recovery speeds exceeding those of high-end CPUs.
