John the Ripper is a password cracker, currently available for UNIX, DOS,
|
|
WinNT/Win95. Its primary purpose is to detect weak UNIX passwords. It has
|
|
been tested with Linux x86/Alpha/SPARC, FreeBSD x86, OpenBSD x86, Solaris
|
|
2.x SPARC and x86, Digital UNIX, AIX, HP-UX, and IRIX.
|
|
|
|
The DOS and Win32 ports are done with DJGPP and Cygnus Developer's Kit,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
This is the community-enhanced version, which integrates lots of contributed
|
|
patches adding GPU support (OpenCL and CUDA), support for a hundred of
|
|
additional hash and cipher types (including popular ones such as NTLM, raw MD5,
|
|
etc., and even things such as encrypted OpenSSH private keys, ZIP and RAR
|
|
archives, PDF files, etc.), as well as some optimizations and features.
|
|
Unfortunately, its overall quality is lower than the official version's.
|
|
Requires OpenSSL. There are unofficial binary builds (by John the Ripper user
|
|
community members) for Windows, Linux, Solaris, and Mac OS X.
