Disclaimer: very basic message below. Mr. Mod: feel free to send it to /dev/poo if you consider it innapropriate for pen-test. Hi add, Just my $0.01 for everyone who doesn't know it: you can get Cygwin for free (www.cygwin.com) and compile John (and many *NIX tools, I've to add) yourself. Just ensure to install "make" and "gcc" during Cygwin installation or after installing the barebones Cygwin. Compiling John is quite straightforward, simply put the tarball somewhere (I kind of like /usr/local in my Cygwin), extract it: $ tar xzvf john-1.6.39.tar.gz Go into the source directory: $ cd john-1.6.39/src And compile it: $ make win32-cygwin-x86-mmx (You can compile win32-cygwin-x86-any if you don't have MMX extensions). Then at least pinch the *.chr files from a vanilla John 1.6, or create your own (RTFM). Cheers, Miguel PD: John on Cygwin will be sligthly slower than on a real Linux box, be brave and install Linux (dual booting Linux/Win is cool). PPD: yes, you can install it on Linux in a Vmware virtual machine on your Windows, but it'll be even slower! -----Original Message----- From: Vince Cambell [mailto:vincecambell () outgun com] Sent: 02 October 2005 16:43 To: pen-test () securityfocus com Subject: John The Ripper For Win32 For those on the list doing password cracking as part of their penetration testing, I came across the latest development version (1.6.39) of John The Ripper compiled for Win32.
