This is a demonstration of John the Ripper capabilities to crack passwords via a generated wordlist based on some criteria. In our example, the user's password is a Disney character.
- Linux machine
- Python 3
- John the Ripper
# Start the python3 script to generate the wordlist based on the Disney characters names.
python3 main.py
# Activate John the Ripper program on encrypted password that stored in mypass file via the generated wordlist.
john --wordlist:wordlist.txt mypass
# Show cracked password result.
john --show mypass
