Hey Craig, what about having each port of the target(s) machine(s) scanned by a different IP (proxy)? it will be more difficult to detect a port scan with good parameters in this situation ;-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Craig Wright" <cwright () bdosyd com au> To: <joel () firstlegion net>; <pen-test () securityfocus com> Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 11:28 PM Subject: RE: distributed computing project for pen-testing? 2 hosts scanning a C class First scan 1-128 2nd 129-256 Brute force - split the keys/passwords etc. I am missing something here as I do not see how you could possibly require grid computing to do anything other than brute forcing (and this is available already and has been for over a decade) What is so difficult about splitting the processes?

Biologist have them to cure the latest disease, isnt it time we made use of it to cut time and costs? Many of my "thorough" testing is not possible because of time constraints.. i would be one of the happiest person in the world if such a thing ever existed!!.. thanx, joel. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This List Sponsored by: Cenzic Concerned about Web Application Security?
