The document provides an overview of using FPGAs for faster password cracking. It summarizes new tools for cracking WPA wireless passwords, FileVault encryption, Bluetooth authentication, and WinZip encryption that have been created using FPGAs. It then discusses in more detail an FPGA implementation for cracking WPA passwords much faster than software by using multiple SHA-1 cores in parallel. Another tool summarized is an FPGA implementation for cracking Bluetooth device PINs by trying all possible PIN combinations.
