It was originally proposed and designed by Shinnok in draft, version 1. solarīack to John the Ripper user community resources. What's new John the Ripper password cracker John the Ripper is an Open Source password security auditing and password recovery tool available for many operating systems. Johnny is the cross-platform Open Source GUI frontend for the popular password cracker John the Ripper. Using a vmware, I set the network cards to the host-only private network on both Kali linux and CTF8. It has us run a version of the server before its been updated and patched so that it has plenty of vulnerabilities. Right now, this page mostly links to external websites, which is OK, but I would actually prefer that tutorials be written right on this wiki, with new pages created under this “tutorials” DokuWiki namespace. It has us using a CTF8 linux server and the instructions are for backtrack, but Im using Kali Linux instead. Some overlap with the official documentation (such as with doc/EXAMPLES) and between multiple tutorials is no problem.
And I do mean step-by-step - e.g., start with downloading JtR, compiling it (if applicable), downloading pwdump6 and running it on a Windows system with output to a file, scp'ing the file, and so on… More specific and with greater detail than that found in the official documentation for JtR.
I envision these tutorials as step-by-step guides or examples for specific use cases - e.g., auditing passwords on a Windows system (that's one tutorial), then auditing passwords from various Unix-like systems and Windows on a Linux system (that's another tutorial). I think that this wiki page/section should contain primarily simple stuff aimed at typical end-users.
