Kali 2.0/John the Ripper

Problems

Started running into problems immediately, trying to dump generated passwords to stdout using John. Illegal inputs, or some baloney.

In any case, my workaround was to install a different John from the Kali 2.0 system John.

Install John

I downloaded John jumbo-1.8. There are lots of versions so make sure you get the latest jumbo.

$ unzip JohnTheRipper-jumbo-1.8.zip

Install OpenSSL Development Libs

Now install OpenSSL development headers before we install John the Ripper:

$ apt-get install libssl-dev

Configure and Make John

Now we can run configure and make:

$ ./configure
$ make clean && make -s

Problem Solved

Check out the before and after - the system john, and my john:

$ john -wordlist:/root/codes/john/rockyou10.lst -stdout
Illegal instruction

$ ./john -wordlist:/root/codes/john/rockyou10.lst -stdout | head -n 10
Press 'q' or Ctrl-C to abort, almost any other key for status
