Hey Craig,
what about having each port of the target(s) machine(s) scanned by a
different IP (proxy)?
it will be more difficult to detect a port scan with good parameters in this
situation ;-)

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?
Craig

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.
