Description
Learn another tool to take your ethical hacking skills to the next level. Learn how you can break weak passwords to better secure your data in the future. Passwords are the most popular form of authentication. A weak password is a common vulnerability. Protect yourself and your systems against black-hat hackers. Be one step ahead of them. This tool is frequently utilized by different types of hackers. Malicious intruders and skilled, ethical hackers. Keep in mind to use it ethically and legally. John the Ripper (or John) is one of the most well known and versatile hash cracking tools for ethical hackers. It combines support for large variety of hashing algorithms with great cracking speed. It's open source and multi-platform tool. It comes preinstalled in Linux distributions for penetration testing (pentesting) such as Kali Linux and Parrot OS. You can also download it for your Windows system or macOS. Let's see what you learn from this course.In this course you will learn:What are hashesHow to set up John the Ripper on your systemHow to prepare a wordlist and perform dictionary attackBasic syntax of John the RipperHow to identify hashing algorithmHow to crack basic hashes like MD5, SHA1, SHA256How to crack Windows authentication hashesHow to crack Linux password hashes stored in /etc/shadow fileHow to crack password protected ZIP filesHow to crack password protected RAR archivesHow to crack SSH private keys passwordsNote: This course is created for educational purposes only.
