I’m really lost with getting john to crack the goodies.
I have used the python script to convert it into a hash, but when I run john it does a bunch of stuff and then says :
Warning: invalid UTF-8 seen reading XXX.txt
Using default input encoding: UTF-8
Loaded 1 password hash (*** [RSA/DSA/EC/OPENSSH (*** p***e ks) 32/64])
Cost 1 (KDF/cipher [0=MD5/AES 1=MD5/3DES 2=Bcrypt/AES]) is 0 for all loaded hashes
Cost 2 (iteration count) is 1 for all loaded hashes
Will run 2 OpenMP threads
Note: This format may emit false positives, so it will keep trying even after
finding a possible candidate.
Press ‘q’ or Ctrl-C to abort, almost any other key for status

It just dies on me… So I’m not sure what I am doing wrong? Googling the issues on brings up guides showing me what I have already tried. Can anyone help me?
