ATI and NVIDIA: Making Friends out of Enemies
March 12th, 2010 by Andrey Belenko
There had been a long standing competition between NVIDIA and ATI which has lasted for years now. And there is no winner so far — just like with Windows vs. Linux or PC vs. Mac debate there are ones who prefer the former and others who prefer the latter. Kind of «religious» issue.
New password-cracking hardware
February 19th, 2010 by Vladimir Katalov
Some time ago we wrote about the smallest password cracking device. Not suitable for you? No problem, here is another one: not as small, but definitely more powerfull: Audi. Yes, it's a car. No, we're not kidding. Just read NVIDIA and Audi Marry Silicon Valley Technology with German Engineering press release from NVIDIA. Or if you need more information, The New MMI Generation from Audi might be also helpful. In brief: Audi A8 luxury sedan is equipped with an entertainment system that uses two GPUs from NVIDIA. We have no idea what are these chips (may be Fermi?) and is it technically possible to load our own code to them, but still funny, isn't it? 🙂

About a month ago, a SQL Injection flaw was found in the database of RockYou.com, a website dealing with social networking applications. The Tech Herald reports that 32.6 million passwords were exposed and posted online due to the flaw. The complete examination of the passwords from the list showed that the passwords in question are not only short as RockYou.com allows creating 5-character-passwords but also alphanumeric only.

December 17th, 2009 by Olga Koksharova
So, they are back from CCFC (Beijing) where Vladimir, Andrew, and Dmitry made their speeches and listened to those given by other reps. Here is a follow-up of the conference with nice shots kindly taken by a keen “shooter” Dmitry Sklyarov 😉 But first of all, we’d like to thank Sprite Guo for taking care of all preparations and perfect managing throughout the whole conference – our BIG thank you!
New sweeping WPA Cracker & its alternatives
December 8th, 2009 by Alexandra Tsybulskaya
It’s a well-know fact that WPA-PSK networks are vulnerable to dictionary attacks, though one cannot but admit that running a respectable-sized dictionary over a WPA network handshake can take days or weeks.

IT-SA-Expo goes on very well and our presentation at the Technical Forum (Forum Blau) was a success – thanks to Rene Mathes who gave out the presentation and 8com GmbH. The talk was about how one speeds up the hash recovery process with the parallelizing CUDA technology. If you happen to be in Nuremberg, Germany, visit our booth at Hall 6 (Stand 542).
