Passwords cracking exercise
Install John the Ripper
Create two accounts, jackl and saml:
Assigne them very simple passwords, for example, jack1 and a1b2c3 by running command passwd jackl and passwd saml or
chpasswd as follows:
Extract the accounts from /etc/shadow and save them in a separate file,
local.shadow in the current directory:
Run John the Ripper on local.shadow file:
After it cracks the two accounts, terminate it with Ctrl-C
the make it show the results:
It stores the results (password hash vs. text) in file john_run/john.pot
