Subject: Re: trivial parallel processing (4 CPUs)
What I ended up doing is I got a huge dictionary (found every wordlist
I could and then stripped out all non-printible characters, converted
all uppercase to lowercase, sorted and uniqed to give about a 50 mb
wordlist) then I broke up the passwd file into four sections and just
ran 4 seperate instances of John (in four different directories) --
one on each section. I am using the default settings except for the
new wordlist.
Does this sound like optimal usage for my 4-cpu machine? Any
reccomendations? I can let this run for a long time and I have no need
to be stealthly, so my goal is only to break as many hashes as
possible.
One more thing... I have been getting some false posititves. Some
passwords have worked fine, but others that JTR found did not work.
Any idea why?
Thanks in advance!
Stephen
