John the Ripper is a fast password cracker that will help you detect weak passwords
John the Ripper is a fast password cracker, currently available for many flavors of Unix, DOS, BeOS, Windows, and OpenVMS.

John the Ripper primary purpose is to detect weak Unix passwords, although Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 LM hashes and a number of other password hash types are supported as well.

John the Ripper Pro builds upon the free John the Ripper to deliver a commercial product better tailored for specific operating systems. It is distributed primarily in the form of "native" packages for the target operating systems.

John the Ripper Pro currently supports the following password hash types (and more are planned):
  • Traditional DES-based Unix crypt(3) - most commercial Unices, ancient Linux and *BSD
  • "bigcrypt" - HP-UX, Digital Unix, OSF/1
  • BSDI-style extended DES-based crypt(3) - BSD/OS, *BSD (non-default)
  • FreeBSD-style MD5-based crypt(3) - most Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Cisco IOS, OpenBSD (non-default)
  • OpenBSD-style Blowfish-based crypt(3) - OpenBSD, some Linux, other *BSD and Solaris 10 (non-default)
  • Kerberos AFS DES-based hashes
  • Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 LM (LanMan) DES-based hashes
