AURORA / PASSWORD RECOVERY
Digital Forensics
A GPU brute-force and dictionary attack platform for encrypted files, hashes and account passwords. It is not a single box but a client-server system: analysts submit jobs through a web browser, a server queues and allocates them, and one or many GPU hosts do the actual cracking. Available as the appliance or as software only.
Operational fit
Any investigation stalled by an encrypted container, protected document or captured hash — and specifically internet-monitoring work, which is the use case the manual names.
