Hi all
Whilst doing an internal penetration test on our private network, I
picked up the below web file:
+ /_vti_pvt/users.pwd - these contain passwords encrypted with unix
crypt() (GET)
Upon looking in the file I get this value:
QSI8R7k5dLPOE
I put this into a passwd file and ran it against John the Ripper which
detected it as DES encrypted text. I ran DES running for over a week but
it was not able to crack this value?
Any ideas..I am doing something wrong, (PS. I ran it on a 4 CPU powerful
Compaq server).
Cheers
