Re: Ncrack suggestion.

Hi!

My machine has BackTrack Linux running with 512 MB of ram (vmware). Below is
the output of top command before Ncrack:

Mem:    510600k total,    48224k used,   462376k free,

And during Ncrack (maybe 2 minutes before it get killed):

Mem:    510600k total,   458640k used,    51960k free

Thanks.
