5 Multi-Core! - ID: 1772668

Details:

Hi, I had a quick suggestion for pdfcrack. I have multiple cores on my
system, and I don't think (aside from booting under a different kernel)
that I can utilize your program with more than one of them at a time. If I
have two different instances of the program running simultaneously, it
definitely uses both cores, but sadly it is trying the same passwords on
each of them. If I run only one instance, it will only run on one core.

I know you mention this on the FAQs page, but I figured I had to cast a
vote in favor of it again.

You could follow the HTC-Hydra scheme of work distribution in a client/server style. (http://freeworld.thc.org/thc-hydra/). You don't even have to modify pdfcrack at all, but instead just call it several times, with a script, specifying the range of passwords to be tested in each instance. Makes any sense?
