JTR CHEAT SHEET Multiple CPU or GPU Wordlists
This cheat sheet presents tips and tricks for using JtR List OpenCL devices and get the device id Sort a wordlist to use with wordlist rule mode
./john --list=opencl-devices $tr A-Z a-z < SOURCE | sort -u > TARGET
JtR Community Edition - Linux List formats supported by OpenCL Use a POT file to generate a new wordlist
Download the JtR Bleeding Jumbo edition with ./john --list=formats -- cut -d: -f2 john.pot | sort -u > pot.dic
format=opencl
improved capabilities and other goodies. Generate candidate passwords for slow hashes.
git clone Multiple GPU's ./john --wordlist= password.lst --stdout
https://github.com/magnumripper/JohnTheR ./john hashes -- --rules:Jumbo | ./unique -mem=25
ipper -b bleeding-jumbo format:<openclformat> --wordlist:<> wordlist.uniq
--rules:<> --dev=0,1 --fork=2
Compile JtR and enable/disable required features Use external mode for complex rules
cd JohnTheRipper/ Multiple CPU's (e.g., 4 cores)
cd src/ ./john hashes --wordlist:<> -- http://www.lanmaster53.com/2011/02/creating-
./configure rules:<> --dev=2 --fork=4 complex-password-lists-with-john-the-ripper/
make clean && make -s
Enable bash completion. add the Rules Generate a wordlist that meets the complexity
following line to your ~/.bashrc --rules:Single specified in the complex filter
. <JtR path>/run/john.bash_completion --rules:Wordlist ./john --wordlist=[path to word list] --stdout --
Cracking Modes --rules:Extra external:[filter name] > [path to output list]
Wordlist Mode (dictionary attack) --rules:Jumbo (all the above) Try sequences of adjacent keys on a keyboard as
./john --wordlist=password.lst hashfile --rules:KoreLogic candidate passwords
Mangling Rules Mode (hybrid) john --external:Keyboard hashfile
--rules:All (all the above)
./john --wordlist=password.lst Configuration Items on John.conf
rules:<rulename> hashfile Incremental Modes (Brute Force)
When using both CPU and GPU set this flag
Incremental mode (Brute Force) --incremental:Lower (26 char)
./john --incremental hashfile
Idle = N
--incremental:Alpha (52 char)
External mode (use a program to generate guesses) --incremental:Digits (10 char) Hidden Options
./john --external: <rulename> hashfile ./john --list=hidden-options
--incremental:Alnum (62 char)
Loopback mode (use POT as wordlist)
Incremental mode with new charsets Display guesses
./john --loopback hashfile ./john --incremental:Alpha -stdout -
Mask mode (read MASK under /doc) Create a new charset based on john.pot session=s1
./john --mask=?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1 -1=[A-Z] ./john --make-charset=charset.chr
hashfile -min-len=8
Generate guesses with external program
crunch 1 6 abcdefg | ./john hashes -
Hybrid Mask mode Create a new entry in John.conf to accommodate the stdin -session=s1
./john -w=password.lst -
new charset
mask='?l?l?w?l?l' hashfile Session and Restore
Markov mode (Read MARKOV under /doc). ./john hashes -session=name
First generate Markov stats: # Incremental modes
./calc_stat wordlist markovstats [Incremental:charset] ./john --restore:name
Then run: File = $JOHN/charset.chr
./john -markov:200 -max-len:12 hashfile MinLen = 0 Show cracked passwords
--mkv-stats=markovstats MaxLen = 31
CharCount = 95 ./john hashes --pot=<> --show
Prince mode (Read PRINCE under /doc) Resources
./john --prince=wordlist hashfile Run JtR with the new charset
./john --incremental=charset hashfile John-Users Mailing List
Most modes have Maxlen=13 in John.conf but it can

be overwritten with -max-len=N up to 24
