The use of Computers Idle-Time and Parallel Processing Over a Network to Perform Password Threat Assessment

Universities have been targets of exploitation ever since the first university networks were created. Although security was not a prime objective, over the years different security systems where put in place to keep unauthorised users out. As the years pass these systems have implemented, in some cases, some intelligence. Unfortunately all, intelligent or not, have a common weakness. This weakness is the password a user is required to provide initially and then uses to login to the computer infrastructure.
