2 hosts scanning a C class

First scan 1-128 2nd 129-256

Brute force - split the keys/passwords etc.

I am missing something here as I do not see how you could possibly
require grid computing to do anything other than brute forcing (and this
is available already and has been for over a decade)

What is so difficult about splitting the processes?

Subject: distributed computing project for pen-testing?

does anyone have any idea or know of any current project that uses
distributed computing power to work tools like nessus, nmap.. etc? wont
it be feasible? Biologist have them to cure the latest disease, isnt it
time we made use of it to cut time and costs? Many of my "thorough"
testing is not possible because of time constraints.. i would be one of
the happiest person in the world if such a thing ever existed!!..



thanx,
joel.
