Nice laptops with SSD and a fast processor for hacking

[Doxxy]

I'm thinking a nice MSI one, so I can dualboot SteamOS and Kali Linux so I can do "CTF"s and Hack the Planet.  

I'm wanting a fast CPU because, obviously, fast bruteforcing/dictionary attacks.  

MSI also have 780Ms, so I can game / offload some stuff to that. 

What do you think?

msi here used with BT4 ... run away from msi... worst company ever for laptops : programmed to die, weak Mobos and cheap plastics... 

but for a CnC, the ethernet chip is cool... else i'd say go for a clevo built by yourself.

Do you already have a gaming PC ? I would only buy an ultrabook personnaly.

 

And you do know that most attacks (WPA2-PSK) can take multiple days without guarrantees right ? I don't see the practical use. A good processor will speed up the process but on one of my laptops with an i5 I estimated more than 48 hours to crack such a protection.

 

Of course if you're lucky you'll come across a WEP network and the password will be optained in less than 5 minutes

 

Possible scenario :

 

Bitches be like : I need Wi-Fi.

 

You : I can hook you up with some Wi-FI, it'll only maybe take 36 hours.

 

????

 

Profit.

Yeah, I have a gaming PC.

But I want it for on-the-go.

I don't want to go to Costa for the first and last time in my life just to grab a key just to send it home to myself to use a better cracker just so I can get into it and MiTM.

And yes, I know it can take days.

Public WiFis are free/WEP anyway, so.. yea.

You can "hack" on a mobile... you don't need anything major hardware wise. unless you are brute forcing something.
