Encrypted passwords

[Agelmar]

Would you mind emailing it to me / posting a link? I could really use it :-(

Also, is it linux-only or will it run on windows?

[Joseph Fung]

There's a lot of software out there for cracking MD5 stuff.  Look up John the Ripper - that's a pretty popular one.

[Agelmar]

it was encrypted using whatever encryption YaBB1G used - I think it called crypt() or whatever - is that MD5?

[Joseph Fung]

yes, crypt (specifically crypt with a 2 char seed) used MD5 encryption

[Chris C.]

Minor nitpick: the crypt() call is generating DES encrypted passwords (just looked at output on the server that Agelmar's forum is running on...)

Hey Jeff, my board uses the encrypted passwords mod.  Lemme know if you can get me this "decrypter" for my conversion...

[Jeff Lewis]

It's just a cheap one as it checks for easy passwords not a full brute force one.  It's here: John the Ripper: http://www.openwall.com/john/

Holy moly! I downloaded the win32 version but I can't figure out how to get it to work!  I try and run the applications and they pop up for half a second and close.

   Jeff!!

[Jeff Lewis]

Hehe run it from a command line...

[Shaun]

Argh!  It still won't run...same thing.  Damn, I hate to ask this but can you give me a step-by-step maybe?

[king_killa]

yea, I got the thing open, but I can't figure out how to take my encrypted password, and get it to crack it.
I read the docs... but I still can't figure it out

Why in the world is this in the news board?

I guess back on the old days everyone can post everywhere

No need to revive this really really old thread.  Take a look on the php scripting board, passwords have been discussed a few times.
