Anyone experiencing issues with john crapping out?
I’ve read that there’s a bug (password cracking - How do I crack an id_rsa encrypted private key with john the ripper? - Information Security Stack Exchange) but I’m not seeing others on this thread report trouble with it.Lots of people have been complaining about John not working.
Its worth using the “Magnum” version rather than the out-of-the-box one: GitHub - openwall/john: John the Ripper jumbo - advanced offline password cracker, which supports hundreds of hash and cipher types, and runs on many operating systems, CPUs, GPUs, and even some FPGAs
Someone suggested… “-w=wordlist works but -w wordlist does not.”
That solved it for me!
