Pyrit +++++

A GPGPU-driven WPA/WPA2-PSK key cracker

Pyrit exploits the computational power of many-core- and GPGPU-platforms to create massive databases, pre-computing part of the WPA/WPA2-PSK authentication phase in a space-time tradeoff. It is a powerful attack against one of the world's most used security-protocols

Requirements ++++++++++++

Pyrit compiles and runs on Linux, FreeBSD and MacOS. Windows is not (and probably never will be) supported; there are however some reports of successful installations on Windows with the help of MinGW.

A couple of libraries and headers are required to build Pyrit:

• Python >=2.5 and it's headers http://www.python.org
• The OpenSSL library and headers http://www.openssl.org
• The Pcap library and it's headers http://www.tcpdump.org
• Scapy >=2.x (optional/runtime) http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/
• SQLAlchemy >=0.5 (optional/runtime) http://www.sqlalchemy.org

Linux users running a binary distribution may need to install the development packages for Python (e.g. python-devel), OpenSSL (e.g. openssl-devel or libssl-dev) and libpcap (e.g. libpcap-devel). You also need a C-compiler like gcc. Users of MacOS probably only need to have Xcode installed.

Installing ++++++++++

Unpack the source-code into a new directory like this:

tar xvzf pyrit-0.4.0.tar.gz

Switch to the main module's directory. We use Python's distutils to compile and install the code:

cd pyrit-0.4.0
python setup.py build

If everything went well and no errors are thrown at you, use distutils again to install Pyrit:

sudo python setup.py install

You can now execute 'pyrit' from your commandline; leave the source-code's directory before doing so to prevent Python from getting confused with module-lookups.

Reporting bugs / Getting help +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Please take a look at the Troubleshooting-page in Pyrit's Wiki if you have problems compiling or running Pyrit:
