John the Ripper is a fast password cracker. Its primary purpose is to detect
|
|
weak passwords. Besides several crypt(3) password hash types most commonly
|
|
found on various Unix flavors, supported out of the box are Kerberos AFS and
|
|
Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 LM hashes, plus several more with contributed patches.
|
|
|
|
This script includes an option to apply Ryan Lim's patch for JTR to support
|
|
MPI. MPI allows you to use multiple processors on a system or even a cluster
|
|
of systems for cracking passwords using JTR. If you decide to apply this, you
|
|
will also need openmpi installed. JTR's author does not recommend using the
|
|
patch, so use it at your own risk - for more information, see this link:

|
|
This script also contains an optional "jumbo" patch, which enables processing
|
|
of many password hash types and ciphers that are not otherwise supported.

Note this will not build in parallel; unset MAKEFLAGS if you have problems.
