Explanation
Decryption Collection supports distributed processing across up to 16 computers simultaneously. By spreading the computational workload of password cracking across multiple machines, the total processing power is multiplied, dramatically reducing the time needed to brute-force or dictionary-attack a password. This distributed approach is one of the most effective ways to accelerate password recovery in a forensic investigation.
