nmap scan / brute-force attack using a load balanced pi cluster

Francois Groenewald

Good morning

I hope all is well.
I need a quick minute to pick an expert brain, please
I am looking for ways to run a brute-force attack using alternative means.
Usually, the GPU does the heavy lifting, right?
How about a raspberry pi cluster using load balancing software?
Is this doable, has anyone tried it and what were the results.

Thank you.

Greetings, @Francois-Groenewald

You are correct in that typically a password hash cracking rig is utilizing GPUs (and probably Rainbow Tables). I know you can cluster Raspberry Pis, but I haven't seen any benchmarks on how efficient that type of rig would be.

So, is it doable? I believe it is, but I've never tried it and haven't seen any recent benchmarks from any of those who may have.

Cheers,
Daniel
