pyrit

Pyrit is a command line tool for performing WiFi network security assessments. It is designed to crack WPA/WPA2-PSK passwords through brute-force and dictionary attacks. Pyrit utilizes the computational power of GPUs and CPUs to accelerate the process of password cracking. It supports multiple attack modes, including pure brute-force, hybrid attacks, and precomputed lookups. The tool also offers various optimizers and filters to enhance the efficiency of the cracking process. Pyrit has the capability to work with large password lists and provides statistics on the progress of the attack. It is commonly used by security professionals and researchers to assess the strength of wireless network security protocols.
