Use the "-show" option to display all of the cracked passwords reliablyīy starting John The Ripper without any options, it will first run in single crack mode and then in wordlist mode until it finds the password (secret).īut you can also provide your own wordlists (with option –wordlist) and use rules (option –rules) or work in incremental mode (–incremental).

This file wasnt created just to work with my wordlist. As a note before we go through this, there are multiple versions of John, the standard 'core' distribution, as well as multiple community editions- which extend the feature set of the original John distribution. If you want to try your own wordlist against my hashdump file, you can download it on this page. John the Ripper is supported on many different Operating Systems, not just Linux Distributions. I guess you could go higher than this rate if you use the rules in John the Ripper.
