Hi all Whilst doing an internal penetration test on our private network, I picked up the below web file: + /_vti_pvt/users.pwd - these contain passwords encrypted with unix crypt() (GET) Upon looking in the file I get this value: QSI8R7k5dLPOE I put this into a passwd file and ran it against John the Ripper which detected it as DES encrypted text. I ran DES running for over a week but it was not able to crack this value? Any ideas..I am doing something wrong, (PS. I ran it on a 4 CPU powerful Compaq server).
