John the Ripper Pro password cracker for Linux

John the Ripper Pro password cracker for Linux

John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, available for many operating systems. Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords, although Windows LM hashes and a number of other password hash types are supported as well. John the Ripper is free and Open Source software, distributed primarily in source code form.

John the Ripper Pro builds upon the free John the Ripper to deliver a commercial product better tailored for specific operating systems. It is distributed primarily in the form of “native” packages for the target operating systems.

John the Ripper Pro is available for a number of operating systems. This web page describes the Linux revision of John the Ripper Pro.

On Linux, the features currently specific to Pro versions are:

• Pre-built and well-tested native packages (RPM), which may be installed with a single command – no need to compile
  Even though these are RPM rather than deb packages, instructions for easy installation on Debian and Ubuntu are also included
• Separate packages for newer 64-bit capable systems (x86_64) and older 32-bit systems (i686)
• Automatic detection of multi-core CPUs and use of multi-threading, with transparent fallback to a single-threaded build on single-core machines (or VMs) or when use of multiple sub-processes instead of threads is requested (with the –fork=N option)
• Automatic detection of processor architecture extensions: AMD XOP, Intel AVX, SSE2, MMX for much faster processing at some hash types, with transparent fallback on older CPUs
• A large multilingual wordlist (5,014,869 entries, 55 MB uncompressed) is included in the package, and John the Ripper is pre-configured for its use
• The included documentation is revised to be specific for the given package on Linux rather than generic, making it easier to understand
• As a bonus, the full source code sufficient to rebuild the package is also provided (can be downloaded separately)

Additionally, you will be able to download a previous version of John the Ripper Pro, which supports even older distributions:

• Red Hat Enterprise Linux and CentOS (any version)

  This is the old product name and version numbering that Red Hat used many years ago – yes, many of these ancient versions are in fact supported
• Ubuntu (any version)
• SUSE Linux 7.1 and above
• Mandriva (any version)
• Slackware 8.1 and above
• Openwall GNU/*/Linux 1.1 and above

  These are supported when running on a system with glibc 2.7+ (any recent system)
• Kerberos AFS DES-based hashes
• LM (LanMan) DES-based hashes – Windows NT/2000/XP/2003, Mac OS X 10.3
