If you are into password cracking then you probably know about it,John the Ripper is one of the most popular password  testing and breaking program available. JTR, as its fondly called ,combines multiple password cracking packages into one package,includes auto detection of hashes and is a fast password cracker. It is currently available for many flavors of Unix, Windows, DOS, BeOS, and OpenVMS and supports 15 different platforms . Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords ( no..I m kidding,Its primary purpose is to break passwords :P ).It can natively detect and crack various encrypted password formats including several crypt password hash types most commonly found on various Unix flavors (based on DES, MD5, or Blowfish), Kerberos AFS, and Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 LM hash. JTR has an active community and multiple third party patches have been added to increase its functionality to include MD4-based password hashes and passwords stored in LDAP, MySQL and others unsupported hashes. JTR is the penultimate when it comes to password cracking in windows (Cain and Abel is the ultimate :P), but for Linux and open source,its the best you can get your hands on.Fire it up with a wordlist and you are good to go
Here is a sample output of JTR in Debian environment (shamelessly taken from Wikipedia)
root@0[john-1.6.37]# cat wpass.txt user:AZl.zWwxIh15Q root@0[john-1.6.37]# john -w:password.lst wpass.txt Loaded 1 password hash (Traditional DES [24/32 4K]) example (user)
guesses: 1 time: 0:00:00:00 100% c/s: 752 trying: 12345 - pookie

32 days and no articles..folks I was exhausted by a tight schedule of competitions,upgrades and technical fests. Whilst I was snoring off due to practicing whole night for the fests, I was flying off to multiple colleges and preparing for my college's own technical event. I went to Chitkara Institute of Engineering and Technology and took part in Cellular workshop,  Microsoft quiz known as Pragyaan and Hacking event known as Crackle. The results were quite under whelming because of event management. I qualified for semifinals for Microsoft Pragyaan quiz and for Hacking Finals & both of events started simultaneously at 11:00 am. How a person is supposed to take part in 2 events simultaneously at 2 different locations is out of my mind. The result ? I got a 3rd position in hacking event and 2 participation certificates for Microsoft quiz. My rotten luck..I got stuck in 4th level of Crackle event and when I got past it, It was already too late (apparently my sql injection failed on level 4). Later I organized hacking in my college, it was a steganography-cryptography-cracking based challenge in which you have  to first work yourself off with NTFS data streams, then get your tools and data from 3 images and then crack Winrar 3.93 using Codefusion and hackers Diss-assembler. The tricky part was getting the exact memory address to be patched as hackers Disassembler doesn't allows for values to be edited in runtime.Neverthless, I took part in Photoshop event, a technical quiz and Crack the code event, and I was awarded 2nd prize in Photoshop, 1st prize in Technical Quiz and 2nd prize in Crack the code event. Not bad for a good ending. In the mean time, I upgraded my blog with a domain and have been experimenting with different platforms as well. I m thinking of moving on to wordpress but it might be a tricky move. Man…I was so busy that I was not able to celebrate the birthday of PROHACK. Belated happy birthday to my site. Meanwhile, I m back on blogging and will resume to my usual technoblogging. Cheers and Keep Learning XERO POSTED BY XERO ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
