Decrypt Password in linux
any software for Ubuntu that can decrypt linux password found in /etc/shadow ?
|
check out john the ripper I think thats good one.
|
tnx Shahz. how can i install it to my ubuntu intrepid box?
|
try googling how to use john the ripper you would come to know.
|
John the Ripper can decrypt a week password and be used to test for week dictionary passwords. Brute forcing a strong password hash for Linux would probably take way too long to be worthwhile. It would be easier to change the password as root, if you forgot your password.

John the ripper gets better with use too, so it might be worth running it from a penstick. Its a simple download that you then run from the command line. I usually copy out the /etc/shadow file to where I'm running John the ripper from.

i already got what i need.
apt-get install crack man crack. for you to know what it is. peace \m/ |
Not to split hairs, but you're not decrypting a password. It was hashed. You're brute forcing the hashed password, not reversing the hash.

Just a few searched hints for the curious minded:
Different types of hashings can be in play: Quote:
