Internet - a great thing that is recognized by all users, and Wi-Fi is not as important as the World Wide Web itself. And if you feel safe because your Wi-Fi is difficult to crack passwords, then you are highly mistaken. Even your neighbor can hack it for a few minutes, and proved that a German researcher Thomas Roth (Thomas Roth).
The researcher said that he was able to guess passwords for Wi-Fi in his hometown of colonies using a virtual supercomputer computing power of cloud computing with data from Amazon. Accordingly, anyone can take advantage of this service.
Computers with cloud computing data - is a network remote servers governing the processing and preservation of data and allowing to perform tasks efficiently. Roth uploaded to your Amazon specialized computer software which has tested 400,000 (!) Passwords from Wi-Fi in the second. Since most people use Wi-Fi coding system WPA (secure access to Wi-Fi), which is difficult to crack, the same system used and Roth. And if sufficient computational power can guess any password, and it is this power and Roth bought Amazon.
Amazon allows you to use their servers to cloud computing data for 28 cents per minute. The first attempt to crack passwords Roth took about 20 minutes, which cost him $ 5.40. Once he perfected his software and uploaded it a second time, the process took 6 minutes and it paid 1.68 dollars.
According to Roth, he wanted to prove that it is possible to crack even the most secure password. Many people think that even if it were possible to crack WPA, it will cost a huge pile of money. As it turns out, it is sufficient to $ 2, and 6 minutes of time.
