HxnDev/Password-Cracker-using-Brute-Force-Algorithm

By HxnDev

This was our Final Project for Distributed Computing. In this we had to create a distributed system that will use the Brute Force Algorithm to crack a password from the etc/shadows file of Ubuntu as all the passwords are stored there. We used OpenMP and MPICH for this implementation.
