Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor

Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor is a handy tool that helps you check how secure your wireless network really is. It does this by trying to grab the passwords used by people on the network. This software works with both WPA and WPA2 security standards and can recover passwords from captured network data.

Audit Your Network's Security

If you want to audit your wireless network's security, you'll need to import or capture some network packets. The program comes with a cool wireless packet sniffer that can catch packets from AirPCap devices. Don’t worry if you don’t have one of those—just use another packet sniffer and import the data from files!

Create New Projects Easily

When starting a new project, the software lets you import password hashes straight from your computer's registry or from PCAP files. If you're in a pinch, you can even add a password hash manually if you have access to it.

Password Recovery Made Simple

The recovery process uses different methods based on what info you already have about the password. For example, if you know part of it or how many characters are in it, you can use methods like the mask attack or word attack to speed things up.

Customize Your Dictionary Approach

The dictionary method lets you quickly analyze words from a list you've made yourself. You can create lists of common words and use them for custom analysis. But if you're running low on info, a hybrid attack might be your best bet since it combines different strategies!

Maximize Your Computer’s Efficiency

The time it takes to decrypt passwords depends on how complex they are and your computer setup. To make things faster, adjust CPU usage and consider using hardware acceleration if you've got a modern graphics card.

Your Test Results Matter!

In our tests, we managed to get a four-letter password from a manually added hash file in about five minutes without hardware acceleration. The program worked hard but didn’t really slow down our computer much during that time.

A Great Tool for Network Security Checks

The high level of customization makes Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor an excellent choice for checking how secure your wireless network is.
