I got an email from Dennis Yurichev at the beginning of last week with an article he has written about his FPGA based password cracker explaining how he created it, what tools are hardware are used and how at a high level the algorithms have been implemented. Dennis's paper titled "How to create FPGA-based Oracle RDBMS cracker that works in average 30-40 times faster [1] than password crackers on Intel Core Duo 2." is available to read and is very interesting.

Details can be found in my blog (http://blog.red-database-security.com/2009/12/06/dennis-yurichev-wrote-an-article-about-his-fpga-oracle-password-cracker/).
