I’d be fascinated to know you bypassed the need for John (or some equivalent tool) on this box.
Happy to discuss in private if that is easier.
Probably the best hint I can give: given anyone who uses john, should know why they actually do that step, just know you can do that same thing you are trying to achieve without ever needing john… but even that seems almost like a redundant explanation: cause the reason anyone would grab for john, ‘is’ because they already know about this principle in the first place. It then may take some time to read up on the ‘how’, but still…
Point is: forget john, open a manual before you open john and you should pretty much find what you are looking for on the first page.
Then again, to place this in a perspective of reality: although it’s simple in the end, I’m new to this and it took me about 2 days to turn this machine inside out. So no harm if you spend some time figuring it all out: it’s worth it.
