AES Explorer: Brute Force AES Search


	AES Explorer is a SW/HW package. I developed it during my Security research into side-channel analysis. It is designed to prove how easily one can perform a search on a moderate-sized key space.

AES Explorer is a tool for side-channel researchers. It has only two real uses:

Given a bunch of data with a key hidden somewhere, search through the data to find what that key is. This is useful if you have a dump of SRAM from e.g. a microcontroller.
Given a list of possibilities for each key byte, create all permutations and test them in a similar way to 1. This is useful for side-channel algorithms (e.g.: correlation power analysis).

This includes both software solutions (slower, but easier for anyone to use) and hardware solutions (much faster, but need an FPGA).

Currently there is only source code and incomplete documentation, check back in a few months for the complete user-guide which is under construction.
