In Hashcat section I think both Challenge 1 and 2 are the same.Īnyway, good work and I hope to see more from you :) :D In order for single attack to be successful you must provide hashfile in a format attack tries to crack the hash based on the username by implementing statistical analysis. "./john -format=raw-md5 -single test.txt" For your information only, you can compile it with MPI and OpenMP libraries for faster password cracking. I suppose that you compiled JtR to operate with one core of your CPU. In my opinion it is faster than the official version of JtR with many additional features. Instead of using JtR from the official Website (OpenWall) you can use Magnum Ripper. Nice Article my friend Nikos but I have to stress some additional things.
