Breakthrough
Performance Tableau's TACC1441 sets the new standard in password recovery performance.
Working in conjunction with software from the established leader in password recovery, AccessData, Tableau's TACC1441
delivers unprecedented password attack rates. The chart below graphs passwords-per-second when running AccessData's
PRTK (Password Recovery Toolkit) on three different platforms: a common Pentium IV, a brand-new Intel Core2 Quadcore, and
the same Quadcore with one TACC1441 accelerator.
WinRAR,
PGP, and WinZip are widely used file formats which present enormous challenges for password recovery software running on traditional
processing platforms. As the chart shows, the TACC1441 accelerates each of these algorithms by a factor of 6x - 30x compared
to the un-accelerated processors. And that's just one TACC1441... Several TACC1441 units can be connected to a single
host to boost performance even further! Need Faster Performance? Use Multiple Accelerators! Do you
need even faster performance than the 6x - 30x gain offered by a single TACC1441? If so, you can gang multiple TACC1441 accelerators
together on a single computer! The next chart illustrates the benefit of using multiple Tableau
TACC1441 accelerators with a single host computer, in this case, a Pentium Core2 Quadcore. for each additional TACC1441 unit
there is roughly a linear increase in performance for many widely used encrypted file formats, such as WinZip and PGP. In
certain cases, the benefits extend even to file formats like WinRAR!
If
you are familiar with dictionary-based password attacks like WinZip, you are accustomed to seeing rates of 1,000 - 3,000 passwords
per second on Pentium IV computers, maybe 20k+ passwords per second on a mid-size AccessData DNA cluster. Today we have single
CPUs with four TACC1441 accelerators running in excess of 250,000 passwords per second!
