XGrid and John the Ripper
March 15, 2006 – 4:43 pmWell something I’ve been toying about with for a long time was getting John the Ripper running in a cluster. So as a little project I’ve been playing around with XGrid and my Mac Mini stack and getting John running.
I found an old version of John the Ripper that had been patched with MPI code to allow it to run in a cluster, I’ve managed to get it running across my cluster. Next job is to take the older version of john changes to combine with the latest release of John, that way I can take advantage of the new versions optimised PPC mods.
Benchmark of just one node.
