problem with crack utility.

Steven E. Protter — Tue, 07 Jan 2003 14:23:26 GMT

I've downloaded and installed crack 5a for checking passwords for crackable passwords.

The install seemed to go okay.

./Crack /download/passwd

results.

swverify shows no errors.

It was installed with swinstall

This error seems critical

Make: Cannot load gcc. Stop.

Steve,

It looks like it's having a problem loading gcc. Do you have gcc? It is it findable (in your path, etc)?

Stefan Farrelly — Tue, 07 Jan 2003 14:29:36 GMT

is the gcc binary in a directory world readable by everyone and in /etc/PATH so that its picked up for all users when they login ?

I have now downloaded and installed gcc 3.1 public domain.

I am working but appreciate insights here.

A little cookbook on how to quickly get this up and running would be helpful.

Steve,

You can get 5.0 in swinstall depot format from the porting center:

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Sysadmin/crack-5.0/

Then you don't have to worry about building.

installing gcc helped.

-makeonly worked

./Crack -makedict fails on error...

Perhaps I'm missing the dictionary?

I got the depot and ran swinstall.

./Crack -makeonly works, so I'd say the gcc library is okay with the PATH.

I'm checking the path and reading the document.

Should I download a different Makefile??

Steven E. Protter — Tue, 07 Jan 2003 14:51:54 GMT

Seems I'm missing a file

elcid.o

I'll try. What is it? Where to I find it?

Re: problem with crack utility.

Pete Randall — Tue, 07 Jan 2003 14:57:20 GMT

Steve,

Follow Steve Steel's link, then search on elcid. There's a section there titled "On RedHat-based Linux distributions, Crack doesn't run, and I get messages like this: " which contains a link to an alternate makefile "which should alleviate the problem".

I don't think the linux file's going to work on HP-UX.

Attaching current makefile.

I had a HP version of Crack 5.0 for HP-UX 10.10 in tar format.

That file was cleaned up by HP so it would work.

That version of crack is working and has guessed the passwords of half my user accounts on production so far.

Thank you all so much for your help.

I'll check with HP and if its okay I'll post it to anyone that wants it.

It was developed by HP for its Practical Network Security Class, which I took in July of 2001. The instructor sent it to me because I couldn't get crack to work, amoong other issues.

Steve.

Hi Steve,

Could you please send me the working crack utility.
Appreciate it.

Re: problem with crack utility.

Steven E. Protter — Fri, 31 Jan 2003 15:59:59 GMT

I need to check with HP. I will send off an email and do so if permitted. This may take a day or so.

I'm not going to post it to a web site or anything so we'll need to work out how to give you the file. It is bigger than what I can push out via email.

If appropriate, I'd be willing to put it on my ITRC pages

I've asked an HP engineer if he's gotten the one sitting on the public domain site to work and if so what steps he's taken to make it work.

I would actually be somewhat surprised if HP said go ahead, distribute. I had to ask a couple of times to get them to send me a tape.

I gave XMAN his first point. Isn't that special.

Procura,

Putting hacking tools where any script kiddy can get them is probably not a good idea.

Re: problem with crack utility.

Steven E. Protter — Fri, 31 Jan 2003 18:24:39 GMT

If I get permission to distrubute at all, it will not be on a website. I'll post it to my own site with password only access. Only responsible people will get it.

I'm expecting a No from Darren btw.

Re: problem with crack utility.

Steven E. Protter — Fri, 31 Jan 2003 18:32:47 GMT

With regard to crack source code. Isn't it already a kiddie risk that its on the public domain University of Utah site?

The fact that the source for crack is readily available at hundreds of sites should not preclude us as systems administrators using it in the war on hackers.

Forgive the flowery prose.

Agreed. It should not stop us. However we should distribute it responsibly.

Particularly a tweaked copy that works on *our* boxes. (I know which side of my bread has the butter on it!)
