Cracking SSL passwords for fun and profit

["Richard Hartmann" <richih.mailinglist@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I lost the password for my router ages ago. As I will move in the
foreseeable future, I need to reconfigure it. Now, I could be boring
and just replace the password/the OS, but I thougt I would try
something a little more fun. Namely, I want to brute-force the
password via SSH.
Unfortunately, I am unable to find a tool that is able to split its
effort over time. I.e. I want to be able to shut down the
'attacking' program and resume at a later point.


If this question is off topic on this list, please excuse me. Feel
free to ignore, reply out of band or to cuss me out.
