Comment on The OpenSSH Bug That Wasn'tparent

Umm... if they are massively distributing the key cracking effort, spawning TCP connections isn't going to be a limiting factor... There is no requirement that the TCP connections be opened sequentially.

They will have to do a session/key exchange hand shake each time, but that shouldn't be more painful than the extra work needed to crack a private key with tons of trials.
