I suggest you to use rockyou.txt because it has 14 million passwords. You can specify any wordlist, Most of the wordlist will be in cd /usr/share John –wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt –format=raw-sha1 sha.txt Now, let’s specify the wordlist to crack the password. *Suppose if you don’t know the hash type just enter john and the file and john automatically finds the hash type. –format:Name You have to secify the hash type you are going to crack Example1, Single crack modeįor single crack mode just use the below command 👇🏽 Just, Follow the below examples and as I said at the beginning I am damn sure by end of the post, You will be familiar using this tool and in between If you got any doubt just comment down below or Watch the video I made on John the ripper.

We should always start to crack using the single crack mode.If John it unable to crack it using the single crack mode then it would automatically move to the Incremental Mode i.e Brute Force. This is the strongest method.In this all combinations of number, alphabets and special characters are tried. Here you have to replace by the name of the text file in which you have stored the hash. If you have created SHA256 hash then it can be cracked using the single crack mode by using the command- john -format=raw-sha256 If you have created SHA1 hash then it can be cracked using the single crack mode by using the command- john -format=raw-sha1 If you have created MD5 hash then it can be cracked using the single crack mode by using the command- john -format=raw-md5 To try this single crack mode you should first generate a hash using the above given programs and then save the hash in a text file. There are 3 main methods that John the Ripper uses to crack hashes. To crack some hashes we will need to generate some of them.You can download or create some hashes online or you can use the python programs given below to create MD5, SHA1, SHA256 hashes.Ĭreate MD5 Hash- import hashlib x=str(input('Enter String to Encrypt:')) print('Encrypted String is:') print(hashlib.md5(x.encode()).hexdigest())Ĭreate SHA1 Hash- import hashlib x=str(input('Enter String to Encrypt:')) print('Encrypted String is:') print(hashlib.sha1(x.encode()).hexdigest())Ĭreate SHA256 Hash- import hashlib x=str(input('Enter String to Encrypt:')) print('Encrypted String is:') print(hashlib.sha256(x.encode()).hexdigest())
