You can stop john at any time, and then restore the session by running:Ĭool thanks,but u mentioned a line? what line extactly r u talking about there are several in the file. From there, it is basically a guessing game to see if John can crack it. John will begin bruteforcing the password through all it's dictionary files, and after that has completed with out success, it will begin what is called 'Incremental' mode. Paste this line in a new file, and for example, we'll call it 'passwd'. To the OP, a simple way to crack your own password would be to copy the line from /etc/shadow that pertains to your account. This, I would not think, to be against Forum Policy, but someone please correct me if I am wrong. First released in 1996, John the Ripper (JtR) is a password cracking tool originally produced for UNIX-based systems.
I didn't think there was anything illegal about using John or using it to crack my own password that existed on my own computer that I had root access to.
