Welcome to NetOps!

Welcome to my blog.  My name is Kevin Clark, and I am currently the Network Operations Center manager for ClearPointe in Little Rock, AR.  I have over 10 years of experience in both operations and engineering roles, and currently hold an MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) in Windows Server 2003 as well as a CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional).    

This site will generally cover areas of technology surrounding network operations.  We experience new issues on a daily basis, and often find creative ways of solving them.  Hopefully this will be of use to others having similar issues.

Graphics chips (GPUs) have surpassed CPUs in complexity and transistor density.  They sit idle most of the time, and many have wondered how to harness the power of these GPUs to aide in higher processing capabilities.  Unfortunatly, someone has.

Read below on how a Russian group has tapped into nVidia GPUs to increase their brute force attacks on WPA and WP2 security by 10,000 times, rendering even the latest encrpytion schemes helpless.
