John the Ripper-clustered
Posted: Mon Apr 12, 2004 5:40 pm
There is some information about how to use John the Ripper with a MOSIX cluster, but unfortunately all of them seem to describe its usage with wordlists.
The basic-idea is to split John in 2 parts: 'word-generator' and 'comparer' (this is the de-facto standard for using John with MOSIX).
------------------------------------------------------------------
./john -session:test.rec -incremental:all -stdout > wooord
------------------------------------------------------------------
'wooord' is a FIFO pipe (#: mknod wooord p) which will be read by the comparer-processes.
