Hello, It's been another half a year, and a new John is finally out: http://www.false.com/security/john/ John the Ripper is a password cracker, currently available for UNIX, DOS, WinNT/Win95. Its primary purpose is to detect weak UNIX passwords. Changes from v1.5 to v1.6 --------------------------- * Batch mode: easier to use. * Kerberos AFS passwords support. * WinNT passwords support (LM hashes only). * Idle priority support on Linux. * Rule reject flags: can reject entire rules on condition. * New utility: 'unique' (removes duplicated lines without re-ordering). * New options: '-stdout', '-status'. * GNU-style long options support. * New make targets for AIX, HP-UX, IRIX. * Bug and portability fixes, and new bugs. Signed, Solar Designer
