Crack software V5.0

[Dan Copeland]

Has anyone ever used this Crack software before. I am having problem runing the script.

I am on HP-UX 10.20 and V10.20 Ansi/C compiler.

Thanks

Hi,

I'm running crack to check/evaluate passwords. It works great, but needs quite some time to run. Several passwords were cracked at our office, and changed accordingly, root was however NOT cracked :-)))))))))

I recall that I had to modify the script to run it on HP-UX. I believe I had to change the/some PATH variable in the script. I'll check tomorrow at the office.


good luck,
Thierry.

Download it from here, and just install it, no need to compile!!!

Hi,

correct, I also had to create the sub-directories.
The errors are caused by a path variable, or sequence of directories in the path. I fixed it, but cannot recall the solution at the moment; I'll check tomorrow.
On the other hand, Harry's link might be a faster solution for you. I'll try it myself; it might be a solution for servers without Ansi C.

regards,
Thierry.

I use a trusted system how do I get the Crack know by passwd path. i.e /tcb/files/auth

RTFM ;-)
see the help file, on how to join /etc/passwd and passwords into one file on trusted systems.
The supplied script works like a charm. I've also imported a passwd file and passwords from a Sun Solaris server and they merged neatly with the script.

regards,
Thierry.

Hi,

below the diff of the original and my current Crack :

< CRACK_PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/ucb:
/usr/etc:$PATH
---
> CRACK_PATH=/opt/ansic/bin/:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bi
n:/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/etc:$PATH

Ansi C needs to be in the path!



Edit filenames of passwd and shadow files in scripts/shadmrg.sv and run it to join them to one file.

good luck,
Thierry.
