John The Ripper MPI Patch

   This is an  updated version of  Ryan Lim's  patch for john  the ripper  to
   support MPI,  in addition  to a  large number  of third  party patches  to
   support additional ciphers and such.

   MPI allows you to use multiple processors on a single system, or a cluster
   of systems  for  cracking  passwords using  john  the  ripper.  Incredibly
   usefull in these days of multi core processors.

   A compatible MPI implementation is required.
   This has currently been tested on Linux/AMD64, MacOSX/Intel and  Linux/x86
   using mpich2-1.0.2

Changes

     * Support for more ciphers (NTLM, MS domain logon cache, Oracle, MySQL)
     * 1.7.2 now includes a ciphers.h file where you can enable/disable
       ciphers at compile time
     * 1.7.2-bp17-mpi2 - no longer requires a copy of the .chr files for each
       node
     * 1.7.2-bp17-mpi2 - NTLM support is now fixed
     * 1.7.2-bp17-mpi2 - now has SSE2 or MMX versions of NTLM, which are much
       faster than the generic ones
     * 1.7.2-bp17-mpi3 - no longer requires you to symlink all the chr files
     * 1.7.2-bp17-mpi3 - You can now kill -HUP any of the john processes to
       see their current status
     * 1.7.2-bp17-mpi4 - altivec.h was not getting included on PPC linux
       (thanks to RB for noticing this)
     * 1.7.2-bp17-mpi4 - Fixed to work on OSX/Intel - use the macosx-x86-sse2
       target
     * 1.7.2-bp17-mpi4 - Status line now shows the mpi_id
     * 1.7.2-bp17-mpi5 - The -show function now works again
     * 1.7.2-bp17-mpi6 - Memory leak and potential buffer overflow (not
       exploitable) fixed by Carsten G
     * 1.7.2-bp17-mpi6 - Support for SIGUSR1 as well as SIGHUP, required for
       use with OpenMPI
     * 1.7.2-bp17-mpi7 - Support for IPB2 (Invision Power Board) cipher added
       (requested)
     * 1.7.2-bp17-mpi7 - Cygwin and benchmark fixes from Elli0t merged in

Known Issues

     * If you use Gentoo, make sure you compile mpich2 _WITHOUT_ the
       "threads" use flag, otherwise john-mpi will fail to compile with
       undefined references to MPIU_Free and MPIU_Malloc
     * If you use OpenMPI instead of mpich2, the SIGHUP signal doesn't get
       passed to john. It is necessary to send a SIGUSR1 instead.
