Subject: Re: MPI / OpenMPI
Thanks Solar Designer. I don't have a specific session value for my
brute-force so I don't know if it does difference, but john --status
give the progress status. At the moment I'm using a simple shell
script just to call john in loop with all combinations of Korelogic
rules...
Also, there is a way to see the current password tested as we see
pressing "enter"? As john is being called by a shell script the enter
doesn't work too.
Also, I will update my script to execute 3 john instances per time
since I have 4 cores and make sure to send killall -HUP john I load 3
new...
Thanks.
