Release The (A5/1) Kraken! Part One: The Comprehensive Kraken Installation And Testing Guide

It's finally here, fellas! The long awaited Kraken installation and testing video that so many of you have emailed me and commented on my videos about.

I recently purchased a 2 terabyte SSD to improve my current Kraken PC, so I may as well use this opportunity to document all the steps required to achieve a complete A5/1 cryptographical research system.

In part one, I give a brief introduction to Kraken and explain what A5/1 encryption is used for in GSM communications. I also go into detail about the hardware and software you will be needing.

And finally, I give a practical demonstration of the steps necessary to compile and test Kraken, while also showing how a SSD is configured for storing the rainbow tables.

This tutorial turned out to be rather long, so I opted to split it into two separate videos. Part two should be uploaded the following day.

Thanks very much for watching!
