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
