We can do that by telling John how to create password variations from the wordlist. Now, we want to be able to use some password cracking rules, so that our wordlists don't have to be terabytes to be effective. Now we can call rules on this wordlist to create variations for password guesses. Let's apply the rule to the rockyou password list. The rule is named KoreLogicRulesAppendYears. Here's an example of a rule that appends years to passwords: The John_the_Ripper/Rules page has a guide for installing the KoreLogic password generation rules from the Defcon 2010 Crack Me If You Can.Ī rule is a way for John to create variations (rule-based generation of variations) on a wordlist, turning a short wordlist into a much more powerful cracking tool. Now let's look at how the rules will modify each entry in the wordfile. john -wordlist:/root/codes/john/rockyou10.lst -stdout | head -n10 This is a kind of "Hello World" for John the Ripper. We'll figure out how to start with low-hanging fruit, in terms of password guesses, and implementing those in John the Ripper.įirst, let's look at how we run John and generate passwords from a wordfile, with no rules at all specified. This page is going to cover some basic rules and modes for guessing passwords in John.
John can be simplistic, only testing passwords that are in the wordfile, or sophisticated, doing letter/number substitutions, etc. Rules and modes are ways of telling John how to guess passwords. This is useful for sending John's password guesses to a file to see how John works, or for piping John password guesses to another cracking program like Aircrack.
Note that if you're using Kali 2.0, you'll need to install John jumbo 1.8 from source, instead of using the Kali 2.0 repository version of John, if you want to use John the Ripper to guess passwords but not actually crack them. Intelligent use of patterns can save us a whole lot of headaches. This is important to be able to do, so that we don't need to devote gigabytes of disk space to word files. We'll go from wanting to test certain passwords to being able to generate a stream of them with John the Ripper. This page will walk through some basic password cracking with John the Ripper.
