John The Ripper MPI Patch
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
DETAILS
John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many
flavors of Unix (11 are officially supported, not counting different
architectures), Windows, DOS, BeOS, and OpenVMS. Its primary purpose is to
detect weak Unix passwords. Besides several crypt(3) password hash types
most commonly found on various Unix flavors, supported out of the box are
Kerberos AFS and Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 LM hashes, plus several more with
contributed patches.
This is an updated version of Ryan Lim's patch for john the ripper to
support MPI, in addition to a large number of third party patches to
support additional ciphers and such.
MPI allows you to use multiple processors on a single system, or a cluster
of systems for cracking passwords using john the ripper. Incredibly
usefull in these days of multi core processors.
A compatible MPI implementation is required.
This has currently been tested on Linux/AMD64 and Linux/x86 using
mpich2-1.0.2
Note: make generic seems faster on AMD64 than the actual amd64 make
target, especially if your using gcc 3.4.
