I need kali to break one of my passwords and i cant get the new kali to work on a flash drive in any way i have tryed for hours.

Anyone here have the old 1.1.0 full 32 and 64 bit ISO files that you can give me please.


Eng if it matters

WHY!!!!
Why do you need a OLD and out dated version ?

kali2 is the current

and on ANY linux OS you can install "john the ripper"

the LIVE kali2 iso works just fine on every usb thumb drive i have put it on
( encrypted with persistence)

It may have worked for you but it did not work for me and I tryed for hours what did you use to make the usb bootable

How do I burn a torrent file to a bootable usb?

i take it you did not bother to read the install instructions !

it is a LIVE image

you use "dd" as per the install instructions
please READ !!! sections 1 and 2
1)
http://docs.kali.org/category/introduction
2)
http://docs.kali.org/category/downloading
then the install instructions in
3)
http://docs.kali.org/category/installation



you DO NOT burn a *.torrent file

you use a torrent client to download the ISO image using the .torrent file

ok i got kali 2.0 to work finally the tool i was using to make the usb i think was broke.

can you give me the commands to jack the ripper and fcrackzip so i can get my password i think if i do a wordlist attack it may come up with a better chance i think i did mix words when i made them anynway the passwords on the zip files i am trying to crack.


can you give me the commands for both programs please.

amazing! john vv's virtual shouting actually helped!
yes, always blame somebody else...

No, we cannot give you "The Commands".
What exactly do you need help with?
please elaborate.

Why try to break the password at all? Just run your Linux OS in single-user mode or your Windows OS in recovery and reset it.

the files i am trying to break are two very big projects i am working on that i need to break the zips so i can get back in i forgot to write down the password like i normally do.

I tryed fcrackzip with -b -c aA -v -u then my zip files name and . zip.

but it is not breaking the password its giving me a random line of letters that did not work so i think something went wrong.

so i am trying to see if i can do something like this
The dictionary attack, or straight mode, is a very simple attack mode. It is also known as a Wordlist attack.

but i now there is a way to use a list of words to help crack my zips but i have no idea the command or the right name of the attack to even google it.

can someone please help me and tell me what program many people have told me john the ripper is the best program so can someone please give me the commands that i can put in please.

Then you will know whether it's worth trying a dictionary attack or not. Anything designed to brute-force a .zip file will work -- the OS and the authors of the program are irrelevant as you're just trying every single string until it works.
Or you could just restore from backup.

So do you have any ideas of how I write the command for john the ripper fcrackzip did not work so I want to see if john will do it.

and yes it is worth doing

It's been a while since I used it myself and I did so against Windows Registry files, but this guide suggests it's very easy.
