Presented at
DEF CON 15 (2007),
Aug. 3, 2007, 6:30 p.m.
(20 minutes).
I've been giving talks on how FPGAs are cool for the past couple of years at Defcon, so what's different this year? Well, I'll be releasing a couple of new tools.
BTCrack is a Bluetooth PIN cracker that will allow you to crack 8-digit Bluetooth PINs on an FPGA or 5-digit PINs on your computer in real-time (Longer PINs require a little more time) using a capture of the pairing process.
The other tool, WinZipCrack will let you crack WinZip AES encrypted files by specifying a list of words that you want to try. The FPGA implementation runs an order of magnitude faster than a PC and the tool supports all of the different modes of WinZip encryption. I'll also be releasing a tool that will allow you to convert WinZIP AES encrypted files into normal unencrypted PKZIP files with the correct passphrase (in case any of you have ever tried opening a WinZip AES encrypted file in unix, ugh!).
I'll also be doing a lightning quick demo of the other tools available on the OpenCiphers Project website and will be releasing Virtex-5 LX50 support for the whole toolset with up to 3x performance over the previous cores on the Virtex-4 LX25 as well as full Windows support.
