In particular I'd like to benchmark the actual performance of distributed cryptanalysis and/or other CPU intensive operations in a FreeBSD cluster environment (prime factorization and password cracking). Up-to-date statistics like these would be valuable to the security industry because they would demonstrate that future- adaptable password schemes like that by Neils Provos are necessary since PC hardware and clustering technologies are so cheaply accessible. I would like to contribute to documentation and code testing. -- --jbl [ subterrain / tegatai ] --email : jbl@subterrain.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-cluster" in the body of the message
