5DESCRIPTION
6-----------
7Slurpie is a passwd file cracker similar to CrackerJack and John the
8Ripper except that it can be run in a distributed environment
9(multiple computers aka nodes).
10
11INSTALLATION
12------------
13Simply type 'make all' to make slurpie and slurp. The makefile uses
14gcc by default, otherwise change CC to point to a different compiler.
15
16USAGE
17-----
18Before running slurpie you need to have a passwd file ( /etc/passwd
19on most linux systems ) and optionally a dictionary file. Dictionary
20files can be found on various hacking/cracking related sites.
21
22single host:
23 First run the node by running slurp. Add '-h' at the command line
24 for a list of options. Then run slurpie in a separate process. For
25 help on running slurpie type './slurpie -h'.
26multiple hosts:
27 To run slurpie in a distributed environment, do what you would do
28 for a single host, but run slurp on any number of additional hosts
29 and register their ip's and ports on separate lines in hosts.dat.
30 By default, hosts.dat includes 127.0.0.1 15001 (the local host and
31 default port number).
