john on steroids?



hi.  did you see the article on slashdot about the academic *nix 
compromises?  this link has a pretty good explanation.  i wonder if the 
person was using the computers for more cpu cycles for john 
http://www.openwall.com/john/ or if there was another motive?  it's an 
interesting story from my enthusiasts perspective.
