Use of Heuristics for Password Recovery with GPU Acceleration
Gazdík, Peter ; Holkovič, Martin (referee) ; Hranický, Radek (advisor)
This thesis discusses various techniques to enhance the password recovery process with GPU acceleration. The first part introduces a Markov model and simple regular expressions. These techniques dramatically reduce the password space to be searched. This is based on observations of users and their use of letters in passwords. We propose the design of a parallel algorithm that combines both techniques. Last part of the thesis contains the results of experiments to prove benefits of Markov model.

Password Recovery of RAR, BZIP, and GZIP Archives Using GPU
Mikuš, Dávid ; Holkovič, Martin (referee) ; Hranický, Radek (advisor)
This thesis describes cryptographic protection and the implementation of file password of RAR, GZIP, BZIP formats. For password recovery multi platform Wrathion tool is used, the tool can obtain a password from an encrypted file by using its modules and password generators. The module provides parsing of input file and storing data, which are later used for password validation. To accelerate calculations, graphics card and OpenCL framework is used. The core of thesis is the implementation of Wrathion's modules for password recovery of the formats denoted above and measuring the speed and comparision with competeting tools.

Metadata Analysis of Cracking Password Task
Pokorný, Šimon ; Hranický, Radek (referee) ; Veselý, Vladimír (advisor)
This thesis deals with the design and implementation of the analytical web dashboard for remote administration of the Fitcrack system. This system is used for distributed password recovery. Web administration is a single-page application which is divided into a server and client part. These parts communicate with each other. There is a lot of information across the system that logged into a database for later analysis or displayed in real-time for the user. The best form to show data is a graphical element of various types (arrow, graph, table, square) and different colors showing what is happening.

Password Recovery in Distributed Environment
Kos, Ondřej ; Veselý, Vladimír (referee) ; Hranický, Radek (advisor)
The goal of this thesis is to design and implement a framework allowing password recovery in a distributed environment. The research is therefore focused on analyzing the security of passwords, techniques used for attacks on them and also presents methods preventing attacks on passwords. Described is the Wrathion tool which is allowing password recovery using acceleration on graphic cards through the integration of OpenCL framework. Conducted is also an analysis of available environments providing means to run computing tasks on multiple devices, based on which the OpenMPI platform is chosen for extending Wrathion. Disclosed are various modifications and added components, and the entire system is also subjected to experiments aiming at the measuring of scalability and network traffic performance. The financial side of the use of Wrathion tool is also discussed in terms of its usability in cloud based distributed environment.

Distributed Password Generation Using Probabilistic Grammars
Mikuš, Dávid ; Ryšavý, Ondřej (referee) ; Hranický, Radek (advisor)
This thesis describes a process of cracking a password, existing types of attacks and generating passwords using probabilistic grammar. This grammar can be used as an attack that works on the basis of learning from an existing list of passwords and generating them by using constructed context-free grammar from the learning phase. The core of this thesis is the design and implementation of distribution solution for this type of attack. Implementation includes refactoring of existing solution and optimization to maximize use of every available resource.

BitTorrent Traffic Detection
Florek, Daniel ; Hranický, Radek (referee) ; Polčák, Libor (advisor)
This thesis deals with a topic of BitTorrent protocol detection within a pcap file. I managed to design and implement a tool based on deep packet inspection which can detect IP adresses and their ports that were involved in a BitTorrent communication. This detection is extendable with flow analysis which may lead into more results but at the same time in a higher chance of false positives. Therefore this kind of detection is just optional.

Microsoft Office Password Recovery Using GPU
Zobal, Lukáš ; Veselý, Vladimír (referee) ; Hranický, Radek (advisor)
This thesis describes the password recovery of Microsoft Office documents by expanding an existing tool Wrathion. The thesis explains the issue of digital document protection, modern encryption and hashing algorithms and rudiments of OpenCL standard. Next, the analysis of structure of MS Word, MS Excel and MS PowerPoint documents is performed, including all the versions since 1997. Using this knowledge, we create a draft and an implementation of improved DOC module for newer versions of the encryption, as well as a draft and an implementation of brand new modules for XLS and PPT formats and their newer variants DOCX, XLSX and PPTX. After that, we measure performance of the new modules and compare it with other competing password recovery tools.

Password Cracking Using PRINCE Algorithm and Fitcrack System
Bolvanský, Dávid ; Ryšavý, Ondřej (referee) ; Hranický, Radek (advisor)
The PRINCE algorithm is a faster and more advanced version of a combination attack. Non-distributed password breaking often encounters its limits, and its applicability to real tasks decreases due to the increasing demand for computing resources of the device. The aim of this work is to design a distributed version of the the PRINCE attack as an extension of Fitcrack system, which focuses on distributed password cracking. The proposed design is implemented and integrated into the Fitcrack system. The work examines the PRINCE attack on a set of experiments, which examines the impact of various configuration options. Part of the experimental part is a comparison of the PRINCE attack with the dictionary and combination attack. The purpose of the comparison is to find cases where the PRINCE attack is better than other attacks. Finally, the integrated PRINCE attack solution in the Fitcrack system is compared with the solution implemented in the Hashtopolis system.

Optimization of Task Distribution in Fitcrack System
Ženčák, Tomáš ; Ryšavý, Ondřej (referee) ; Hranický, Radek (advisor)
The goal of this thesis is the optimization of task distribution in the Fitcrack system. The improvement is reached by way of increasing the accuracy of the estimation of the computational power of worker nodes, and the prevention of the creation of extremely small tasks, as well as increasing the efficiency of the transfer of the tasks to the worker nodes. In this thesis, the current state of the Fitcrack system is described, tested, and evaluated. This thesis then describes the weak points of the current implementation, proposes ways of remediating them and describes, tests and evaluates the implementation of those proposals.

Analysis of Distributed Computing Technologies for Password Cracking
Mráz, Patrik ; Veselý, Vladimír (referee) ; Hranický, Radek (advisor)
The goal of this thesis is to analyze the technologies for distributed computing in password cracking. Distribution is a key factor regarding the total time of cracking the password which can sometimes take up to tens of years. In the introductory section we take a look at the general password cracking, types of attacks and the most popular tools. Next we address the GPU parallelization as well as the need of distributed computing on multiple computers. We look at all kinds of technologies, such as VirtualCL, BOINC, MPI and analyze their usability in password cracking. We examine each technology's performance, efficiency, scalability and adaptability when given pre-defined conditions. Part of this thesis is a design and implementation of distributed password cracking using MPI technology along with Hashcat, a self-proclaimed World's fastest password cracker.
