Subject: Re: Password Crack

Executed the command(crack.txt is the filename):

john --format=raw-md5 crack.txt

Result: Unknown cipher text format name requested

Next I executed:

john --format=md5 crack.txt

Result:No Password hashes loaded(See FAQ)


Crack.txt has the contents:
user:5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592



KIndly advise on how I can get this working.
