Ubuntu/Barebones to JtR
From charlesreid1
From barebones AWS instance to John the Ripper ripping some passwords.
The Procedure
Get the Amazon Compute Instance
Get the compute instance request going, get the node fired up, and get logged in.
I use the private key for the machine, which was provided to me by Amazon, to ssh into the machine like this:
$ ssh -i my_amazon_key.pem ubuntu@<ip of amazon machine>
Then I'm in - I don't need a password.
Software Update
$ apt-get update $ apt-get install -Y unzip
Install John the Ripper
Get Zip File
I usually go with the latest jumbo file, in this case 1.8.0.6-1.
Download the zip file and extract it.
<pre. $ unzip JohnTheRipper-1.8.0.6-jumbo-1.zip
Make John
Now change to JohnTheRipper/src directory and run the configure script:
$ cd JohTheRipper-1.8.0.6-jumbo-1/src/
