John the Ripper Password Cracker (Fast Mode) | Metasploit Exploit Database (DB)

John the Ripper Password Cracker (Fast Mode)

This module uses John the Ripper to identify weak passwords that have been acquired as hashed files (loot) or raw LANMAN/NTLM hashes (hashdump). The goal of this module is to find trivial passwords in a short amount of time. To crack complex passwords or use large wordlists, John the Ripper should be used outside of Metasploit. This initial version just handles LM/NTLM credentials from hashdump and uses the standard wordlist and rules.
