System Architecture
ElcomSoft Distributed Password Recovery consists of three main modules: the agent, the server and the console, that can operate independently on different computers in the local or global Internet networks.

The server is started up on one of the computers in the network. On any of the computers in the network the console that manages the server is then started up and connected to the already active server. Password recovery task is created on the console. Then the previously installed and started up agents connect to their server, deliver the work done (if they have had any) and receive the next portion of work, after which they disconnect and start processing the given task. Periodically (on an average of 60 seconds), each agent connects to the server in order to report its state.

The server receives its task from the console and distributes it among the agents. The console in its turn is designed to manage the server it is connected to and the agents that are registered on the server. The agents are registered on the server when they connect to it for the first time.
