New in Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery 3.40 Build 1111 (Aug 10, 2017)
- Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery 3.40 adds support for some of the most popular password managers including 1Password, KeePass, LastPass and Dashlane, enabling customers to attack master passwords protecting users’ stored passwords. Attacking and recovering a single master password can potentially give access to dozens, if not hundreds passwords to a wide range of resources that are kept in the encrypted database.
- Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery 3.40 is updates with support for major password manager apps including 1Password, KeePass, LastPass and Dashlane, allowing to attack a single master password in order to gain access to stored authentication credentials. Since not all password managers are equally secure, reasonably fast attacks might be possible. Attacking and recovering the single master password can open access to authentication credentials stored in the password manager’s encrypted database.
- The full list of password managers supported by Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery 3.40 includes:
- 1Password
- KeePass
- LastPass
- Dashlane
- Password managers are designed to help users store, organize, and use passwords. The use of password managers relieves users from having to memorize a number of unique, strong passwords, allowing them to provide secure authentication credentials without reusing the same password on different resources. Most password managers keep authentication credentials (logins, passwords and other data) in a database, and use a user-provided master password to securely encrypt that database.
- How password managers affect overall security is debatable. On the one hand, using unique, secure passwords for different accounts is strongly recommended for security reasons. On the other hand, if the one master password is compromised or can be recovered, the attacker gains access to the full and complete database containing all user’s passwords and authentication credentials.
New in Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery 3.30 Build 1109 (Aug 1, 2017)
- Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery now support Amazon’s new P2 instances with up to 16 GPU units. The new instances are powered by NVIDIA Tesla K80 GPU units, delivering unmatched performance and best-in-class price-performance ratio for cloud computing. Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery dynamically scales to up to 10,000 mixed instances (local, remote and cloud) to deliver truly unmatched recovery speeds.
- ElcomSoft rolls out support for Amazon’s new EC2 Compute Units found in the company’s GPU-accelerated P2 instances. Compared to the older G2 instances, the new P2 EC2 Compute Units come with up to 16 GPU units each. The new P2 instances are powered by NVIDIA Tesla K80 GPU units, allowing Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery to run with full GPU acceleration to deliver record-breaking performance when integrating multiple units.
- Support for Amazon’s new compute units allows users of Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery to dynamically scale their labs, adding extra compute units if and when the additional power is needed and scaling back once job is complete. On-demand use of cloud instances with Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery delivers not only unmatched recovery speeds, but also best-in-class price-performance ratio. With Amazon cloud instances, users get the power they need the moment they need it.
- Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery supports agents installed into the Amazon EC2 account. Depending on performance requirements and budget constraints, Amazon EC2 instances can quickly scale to speed up the job, and can be scaled back when not in use. Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery running in an Amazon cloud is a perfect solution when additional computational power is needed without the need to invest into building permanent infrastructure in-house.
