As I recall, Matt Bishop and Dan Klein made significant contributions to research regarding bulk password cracking. "Improving System Security via Proactive Password Checking" (1992) http://www.klein.com/dvk/publications/passwd-matt-final.pdf http://www.klein.com/dvk/publications/passwd-matt-final.pdf Matt was the one who speed up DES cracking, and Dan Klein developed rules for cracking based on dictionaries. They should be acknowledged, IMHO.
