About:
John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix (11 are officially supported, not counting different architectures), Win32, DOS, BeOS, and OpenVMS. Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords. It supports several crypt(3) password hash types which are most commonly found on various Unix flavors, as well as Kerberos AFS and Windows NT/2000/XP LM hashes. Several other hash types are added with contributed patches.
Release focus: Initial freshmeat announcement
Changes:
John the Ripper Pro builds upon the free version
to deliver a commercial product better tailored
for specific operating systems. It is distributed
primarily in the form of "native" packages for the
target operating systems. Currently available is
an RPM package for Linux/x86 with processor type
detection and support for SSE2 and MMX. A large
multilingual wordlist has been included in the
package, and the documentation has been revised to
be specific for the given package and OS rather
than generic. The full source code sufficient to
rebuild the package is also provided.
