Usage is fairly simple for this script, you'll be presented with a series of prompts before the script begins to run. The first prompt will ask about the hash file(s) you wish to use, input one or one hundred, just ensure that files are separated by a space. The second prompt will ask about wordlists and which you'd like to run. Selecting (1) picks the default John the Ripper wordlist and can take quite a long time to run, this is here because John provides us that utility and I don't want to take anything away from the original developers. Choice (2) lets us run the gold standard for wordlists, the rockyou word list. Choice (3) allows us to input a custom wordlist, if we select (3) then we're immediately prompted for the input of that wordlist. -NOTE- users have the option to add multiple wordlists in this script, it will check them against the hash file(s) one by one, parsing each time through all available formats. The third and final prompt asks about forking the processor. If you know what this part does I doubt I'd have to explain it to you, if you don't know what it does, choose the default setting and save your system from potentially overheating. After this just sit back and let John the Ripper do its thing. When John finishes running any and all cracked hashes will be shown to standard output. As John already does, cracked hashes are stored in ~/.john/john.pot in case you need to go back and view them at a later time.
This script was written as means to automate the formatting process within John the Ripper. John boasts an impressive number of
formatting options available to the user, however, an issue with this is if the user is attempting to break a large number of hashes
with multiple format types within the same (or multiple files) John may not be able to run without specifiying the --format-<format type>
option. Leaving users to have to go back and manually run the program wasting valuble time and resources. This script allows the user
to run John the Ripper without having to manually run these various formats against a single or even multiple files.
The script has also been modified to give the user the ability to input a custom wordlist (or multiple wordlists), use the default John wordlist, or even just use the industry standard rockyou.txt wordlist..
Additionally more functionality has been given the script allowing the user to change the processor fork of John. At this time I have not added checks to that functionality so it is up to the user to know what the maximum for is their system in capable of if they choose to use the "custom" option. Otherwise using the "high performance" option will give the script the power to determine maximum system capabilities. Likewise if the user choose the utilize the "low performance" option this will utilize the default fork value which is 1. Truth be told there isn't a signficant difference between the default and a fork of 8, in fact it without proper cooling I probably wouldn't recommend altering the fork value.
One key aspect that I did be sure to add to this program is the ability to use *nix style globbing. I detest having to type out complex named directories or files, and like many I'll often mistype these complex names, simply adding globbing was a way for me to keep some of my own sanity when typing out long and complex directory/file names.
-ADD dyanimc formatting option - help for this can be found in the /usr/share/doc/john/DYNAMIC_SCRIPTING README file.
-ADD more wordlists to the wordlist selection tab, this will require me to package these custom wordlists with the script.
-ADD dynamic modification to the format list, this will ensure as John the Ripper developers continue to work on the program this script will be capable of keeping the format list up to date without manual modification.
