Abstract

The goal of this thesis is to analyze the technologies for distributed computing in password cracking.Distribution is a key factor regarding the total time of cracking the password which can sometimes take up to tens of years.In the introductory section we take a look at the general password cracking, types of attacks and the most popular tools.Next we address the GPU parallelization as well as the need of distributed computing on multiple computers.We look at all kinds of technologies, such as VirtualCL, BOINC, MPI and analyze their usability in password cracking.We examine each technology's performance, efficiency, scalability and adaptability when given pre-defined conditions.Part of this thesis is a design and implementation of distributed password cracking using MPI technology along with Hashcat, a self-proclaimed World's fastest password cracker.
