Subject: Request for Guidance on Distributing John the Ripper Password
 Cracking to Cloud Nodes

Dear John the Ripper Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am currently working on distributing password cracking tasks with John
the Ripper across multiple computers, with my local machine serving as the
primary host, and cloud-based machines acting as nodes in the distributed
setup. Specifically, I am interested in using the incremental=ascii mode
and would like guidance on how to connect the different nodes, which are
running on separate networks.

Could you kindly provide me with detailed instructions on how to achieve
the following:

   1.

   *Distributed Setup:* How can I connect and configure John the Ripper to
   work across multiple computers running on different networks, with one
   machine as the local host and others as remote nodes in the cloud?
   2.

   *Cloud Node Configuration:* What steps are necessary to configure the
   cloud-based nodes, including any specific settings or configurations
   required for them to work efficiently with the local machine in a
   distributed cracking environment?

Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your response.
