PwnSauce Instant John the Ripper Cluster

[guinness.stout]

I cannot find anything about this expect on BackTrack 3 and they have 0 information about it on the site. I want to install it on my gentoo machines. Has anyone used it off of the BackTrack CD?

No - did you have any success?

First emerge mpich2 then download John The Ripper w/ MPICH2 support from http://bindshell.net/tools/johntheripper. Set up MPICH2 cluster and have at it. That's all pwnsauce uses, they just do it with pxe or cd/usb boot options.

If you have a Core2 system you'll want to do this anyways otherwise JTR will only take advantage of one CPU instance.
