ABSTRACT = {Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) are two 
security protocols developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance to secure wireless computer 
networks. The prevailing usage of GPUs improves the brute force attacks and 
cryptanalysis on access points of the wireless networks. It is time-consuming 
for the cryptanalysis with the huge total combinations of 9563 max. Now, it is 
the turning point that the leap progress of GPUs makes the Wi-Fi cryptanalysis 
much more efficient than before. In this research, we proposed a rule-based 
password cracking scheme without dictionary files which improves the efficiency 
of cracking WPA/WPA2 protected access points. The experiment was performed 
on the real environment and the results demonstrate that the proposed 
scheme. The proposed scheme improves the efficiency from 2088000 PMKs/min 
to 16200000 PMKs/min.},
