Password Cracking using Djohn

I work for an organization that currently assigns passwords to all employees and we are moving over to user created passwords. As part of the move, we are wanting to implement a system that will try to brute force the user passwords (raw-MD5) so that we can disable the account if it is easily cracked. That said, I have used John the Ripper and love it's abilities. I would, however, like to distribute the workload over two or three systems. The software I found to do this is Djohn which uses JtR as it's base. I have found the system to be a bit under documented for me. Has anybody used it successfully? If so, could somebody assist me in setting up and running the system? -- Nathaniel Hall, GSEC GCFW GCIA GCIH --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is sponsored by: Norwich University EARN A MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INFORMATION ASSURANCE - ONLINE The NSA has designated Norwich University a center of Academic Excellence in Information Security.
