Disconcert - A Distributed Computing Framework for Loosely-Coupled Workstations
  
 
Disconcert provides a distributed computing framework for loosely-coupled workstations. It is meant to distribute problems that are inherently parallel, like dictionary attack on keys or passwords.

Disconcert authenticates the server to the clients and all communication is cryptographically secured. This framework was used during my steganography detection research. This is just a snapshot and not an official release. There is no documentation, this is not for the faint of heart.

It is available under a BSD-style license.
