Password Cracker :GUI Version of John the Ripper Named "Johnny" Released
Earlier we have talked few times about John the Ripper, it is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix, Windows, DOS, BeOS, and OpenVMS. Its primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords. It supports several crypt(3) password hash types commonly found on Unix systems, as well as Windows LM hashes. Those who are not familiar with command line then also they can use GUI edition of John the Ripper or "Johnny". Johnny is a GUI concept to John the Ripper written in C++ using the Qt framework, making it cross-platform on both Unix/Linux and Windows operating systems. It was programmed as a part of the Google Summer of Code 2012 and supports bother 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. Though this project is not complete yet, the main reason behind me writing is that you should know about this promising project. For more information you can visit the open-wall community.
