Description: In this video I will show you how to crack Linux hashes using the Metasploit framework auxiliary module and make sure that your Database is connected with Metasploit – Framework or you will get errors.
I’m using John the Ripper Auxiliary modules this module will allow you to crack your hashes and you can read your password in plain text but you have to use the dictionary for the brute-force attack.
This module uses John the Ripper to identify weak passwords that have been acquired from unshadowed passwd files from Unix systems. The module will only crack MD5 and DES implementations by default. Set Crypt to true to also try to crack Blowfish and SHA implementations. Warning: This is much slower.
