Studi Performa PC Cluster (original) (raw)

Abstract­ The development of computer and network technologies led to the idea to combine multiple computers in a network, where the computer is able to cooperate into processing a problem. PC cluster is an amalgamation of several computers to process a job of processing, which way of submit the task / job to every computer and produces very high speed result. This study used PC clusters for cracking passwords. Password Cracking John The Ripper is a process of opening a password in this case Windows XP SP 2. The network topology used is a star topology and uses the internet protocol (IP) class C (192.168.1.0/24). The number of nodes consists of three nodes , that are two slave nodes, one master node and one computer for sampling password. By doing so, the result can be seen the difference time between cracking passwords using single computer and PC cluster.After testing, it was found that the cracking using PC cluster is faster than single computer.
