This is accomplished by use of Mosix clustering software, SSH or RSH access to a number of nodes. With Moscrack's plugin framework, Moscrack has support for Pyrit, Unix password hash cracking and can be further extended by anyone who desires extra functionality.

Features:

• Architecture independent
• Automatic and dynamic configuration of nodes
• Automatic performance analysis and tuning
• Basic API allows remote monitoring
• CUDA support via aircrack-ng-cuda (untested)
• Can be extended by use of plugins
• Can crack/compare SHA256/512, DES, MD5 and blowfish hashes via Dehasher plugin
• Checkpoint and resume
• Designed to run for long periods of time
• Does not require an agent/daemon on nodes
• Doesn't exit on errors/failures when possible
• Easily supports a large number of nodes
• Effectively handles mixed fast and slow nodes or links
• Failed/bad node throttling
• Hung node detection
• Includes CGI web status viewer
• Includes a "top" like status viewer
• Intercepts INT and TERM signals for clean handling
• Live CD/USB enables boot and forget dynamic node configuration
• Node prioritization based on speed
• Nodes can be added/removed/modified while Moscrack is running
• Pyrit and CUDA/OpenCL support via Pyrit plugin
• Reprocessing of data on error
• Supports Mosix clustering software
• Supports SSH, RSH, Mosix for node connectivity
• Supports all popular operating systems as processing nodes
• Supports mixed OS/protocol configurations
• Uses aircrack-ng (including 1.2 Beta) by default
• Very verbose, doesn't hide anything, logs aggressively
