Subject: Re: pwgen
When generating a chr file, is it best to use a pot as large as possible, or
should it be tailored to the task at hand... Meaning I'm trying to crack the
output.txt I created from Brads list of pwgen passes, but without using the
passwords that are found in the output.txt file. I'm wondering if the windows
version might offer more entropy than it's CLI cousin?
The windows version of pwgen has an entropy that is variable based on mouse
clicks and typing on the GUI. I've generated a few lists, hashed and then
cracked them all into a john.pot file. Then generated the chr files. These
lists did not use Brad's list these were all unique passes I used pwgen to
generate.
I then used -i=pwgen (my custom mode in my conf) and
running for 6hrs so far no cracks on the output.txt file. (new john.pot as
well). If I generate chr files off of output.txt, I crack lots very quickly
with it tapering off as would be expected. I'm linking the passwords and hash
file for others to test against. I'm not sure if the windows version differs
much from the *nix version. So far I see no CLI commands unless I run the *nix
version in cygwin perhaps. Just thought I'd mention there could be a
difference. I am also generating passwords using all 95 characters.
You can find the list of passwords generated here: (10k passwords)
