A is a specialized security framework designed to audit the strength of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA/WPA2) Pre-Shared Keys (PSK). Unlike traditional auditing tools that run on a single machine, a distributed auditor leverages the computational power of multiple nodes (computers, servers, or even IoT devices) working in parallel to test the resilience of a Wi-Fi network against brute-force or dictionary attacks.
If WPA2-PSK must be used, keys must be completely random and exceed 16 characters in length. This pushes the keyspace beyond the reach of even the largest distributed GPU clusters.
Wireless networks secured with WPA/WPA2-PSK remain vulnerable to offline dictionary attacks due to the capture of the 4-way handshake. This paper presents a distributed system architecture that partitions the key space (dictionary or brute-force) across multiple worker nodes. By leveraging a message-passing interface (MPI) or map-reduce framework, the system achieves near-linear speedup, enabling the audit of 8-character complex keys within hours instead of months.

These are the foundational command-line utilities that do the actual cracking on the worker nodes.
The primary hurdle in WPA auditing is the time required for these computations. A addresses this by partitioning the workload across multiple nodes. A is a specialized security framework designed to
