I tried to setup john (1.8.0, x86-64) to check my own password strenght.... but it kinda fails before it even starts. It installs just fine, the EXAMPLES file is wrong, or the binary itself is wrong, since the softlink to create the copy of password / shadow is
not named unshadow, but unshadow
s....
Or was my tgz tampered with?
Code: Select all
# md5sum john-1.8.0-x86_64-3cf.xzm
*************** john-1.8.0-x86_64-3cf.xzm
(I don't find that md5sum when searching the web, but that says nothing. PM me if you want to know the md5sum)
When I try to run this prior the real stuff
Code: Select all
unshadows /etc/passwd /etc/shadow > /home/guest/mypasswd
it takes ages, and finally I quit it with CTRL+C.
It says "Press 'q' or Ctrl-C to abort, almost any other key for status", but I pressed lot of keys, and nothing gave any status.
Does anyone of you have tried John already?
