Hi add,
Just my $0.01 for everyone who doesn't know it: you can get Cygwin for
free (www.cygwin.com) and compile John (and many *NIX tools, I've to
add) yourself. Just ensure to install "make" and "gcc" during Cygwin
installation or after installing the barebones Cygwin.
Compiling John is quite straightforward, simply put the tarball
somewhere (I kind of like /usr/local in my Cygwin), extract it:
$ tar xzvf john-1.6.39.tar.gz
Go into the source directory:
$ cd john-1.6.39/src
And compile it:
$ make win32-cygwin-x86-mmx
(You can compile win32-cygwin-x86-any if you don't have MMX extensions).
Then at least pinch the *.chr files from a vanilla John 1.6, or create
your own (RTFM).
Cheers,
Miguel
PD: John on Cygwin will be sligthly slower than on a real Linux box, be
brave and install Linux (dual booting Linux/Win is cool).
PPD: yes, you can install it on Linux in a Vmware virtual machine on
your Windows, but it'll be even slower!
