PMK = PBKDF2-SHA1(PSK, SSID, 4096, 256 bits)
A is a system architecture designed to parallelize the process of auditing WPA-PSK security. It moves beyond the limitations of a single laptop running aircrack-ng. Instead, it leverages multiple computing nodes—working in unison—to accelerate the vulnerability assessment.
Emerging research (circa 2024-2025) focuses on – where the master encrypts the handshake in such a way that the worker can test passwords against the encrypted blob without ever seeing the underlying hash or SSID .
: Designed with a low-resource server and a minimalist web interface, ensuring the platform remains accessible and fast for contributors.
To audit the password, a tool must take a potential password, run it through the PBKDF2 hashing algorithm, and see if the resulting hash matches the captured handshake.
[ Master Node ] | |-- Distributes candidate ranges |-- Manages handshake & PMK state | [ Worker 1 ] [ Worker 2 ] [ Worker N ] (GPU rig) (CPU pool) (Cloud spot)
Let’s look at actual speeds (hashes per second) for WPA-PSK.
