#John The Ripper

[60seccyberbrief]

Password Auditing tools

I will continue talking about cyber tools from last week by covering some password auditing tools this week. I have used these tools before, but not extensively, and I still have much to learn and experience with different practical settings.

The first tool I will cover is John the Ripper. John the Ripper is an open-source password security auditing and password recovery tool. It was originally designed for UNIX systems but has been updated to encompass many different platforms and hash types. It has a few different modes but the most 2 notable is wordlist mode which allows it to test passwords against a word list, iterating through the list. The other remarkable feature is an incremental mode which brute forces with all possible combinations of a set parameter. You can do both of these modes with the addition of different hash and salt combinations.

The other tool I would like to mention is Hashcat. Hashcat claims it is the world's fastest password recovery tool. It leverages the power of modern GPUs to accurate the password-cracking tasks. Just like John the Ripper, Hashcat also has many different types of modes/attacks. Such as discretionary, mask, hybrid, and rule-based attacks.

Remembered these Zatanna and the Ripper panel edits I did some time ago 😆

And a blank one, 'cause why not

Zatanna's ringtone is Every Little Thing She Does is Magic by The Police which is adorable!!

But also, the band's bassist and singer, Sting, is the man that John fricking Constantine was designed after!!

🎶It's a big enough umbrella, but it's always me that ends up getting wet🎵

Match made in heaven hell, I'll say.

Ripperland #1 by Steve Orlando, John Harris Dunning, Alessandro Oliveri and Francesca Vivaldi. Cover by Oliveri. Out in January 2025.

"The year is 2188 and Jack the Ripper has returned to London. For the last century, a shattered post-Brexit England has operated as a massive Victorian theme park in exchange for American military and financial protection. But when an American mogul's grandson is killed in the heart of London, the delicate status quo is threatened. Is the killer a brilliant maniac? Americans taking advantage of their superior technology? Or the English Underground Resistance, wishing to throw off the yoke of American oppression and re-join the modern world? American Special Agent Jesse Holden and local British Police Detective Edwin Fogg must overcome their clashing ideologies in order to find the truth in the foggy streets of 22nd-century London."
