Passware Kit accelerates password-recovery processes using hardware.
Multiple CPUs
Passware Kit utilizes multi-core computers efficiently. Password-recovery speed is increased scalable to the number of CPUs on a computer.
NVIDIA and ATI GPU
GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) cards help to accelerate password recovery by up to 45 times. Passware Kit supports all types of NVIDIA GeForce cards, TESLA, and other CUDA cards, as well as AMD ATI.
Passware Kit automatically detects NVIDIA and ATI cards available for acceleration on a target computer and uses them to speed up the password search process. It can use multiple cards simultaneously.
