Scalable Distributed Attack Platform

I have decied to mainly use Java for the core of the project.

There are a number of reasons for this

1. It enables the use of RMI which makes the application more platform independant as apposed to using MPI.
2. RMI can be used for client to server communication.
3. RMI removes the application from being limited to only running on cluster based system.
4. Java should all for a good multilevel architecture to be implemented.
5. Server has latest version of Java installed so should be able to take advantage of latest additions to language.

Have cluster access and have established what software is avalible on it. May be potential to use a combination of RMI and MPI for the project.
