Just an idea O.O "practical" as in "feasibly doable"? I'm sure. "practical" as in "likely to be very successful"? I doubt it. The point of what you're testing is to upset/break/destabilize/crash the process under test -- I can't see the side-effects of that making it a very "popular" project amonsgt typical BOINC, etc users. That's not to say that a collaborative effort combining the test machines of those willing to participate in that manner would not be practical, but I can't see it being terribly successful as a BOINC project (or BOINC being very keen on it!).
