Linux – Cracking WPA2 using Intel HD Graphics GPU

brute forcelinuxpasswordswpa2

I use Linux Kali and yesterday have captured a WPA handshake of my network. I want to crack it's password – but my CPU with aircrack-ng checks only about 2000 keys per second. In my laptop I have got Intel HD Graphics 4600 GPU – I want to use it to cooperate with CPU in cracking password (I read that could make this proccess faster 20 times!). Is there any way to do that? I know about hashcat, but, if I'm not wrong, it is only for NVIDIA or AMD/ATI GPUs.

You are not wrong, you would need a proper GPU to accelerate hashcat. A popular choice as an alternative to hashcat is crunch http://sourceforge.net/projects/crunch-wordlist/files/crunch-wordlist/ For which google will give you a bevy of tutorials on the subject. I'm surprised you getting as high as 2000kps given the state of it.

Generally speaking you want several GPU's working under oclHashCat to get this processed in any reasonable amount of time. (they post their statistics http://hashcat.net/oclhashcat/)
