A Distributed Algorithm for Brute Force Password Cracking on n Processors

Description

A distributed brute force algorithm to solve the problem of diminishing returns when more processors are added to a password hash cracking system. Using GBFP, the brute force password cracking algorithm can be greatly reduced in computation time and greatly optimized. This algorithm also helps with the issue of cracking a password hash with many processors with differing clock speeds as well.
