Subject: Re: keepass2john cannot extract the hash from a keepass
2.x database
Hello Alexander,
Indeed, the Gentoo ebuild deployed symlinks under /usr/sbin, all
pointing to the john binary. I just compiled it manually and I could
find the separate keepass2john binary under ../run/, thus I will modify
the ebuild to install those binaries from '../run/', instead of creating
symlinks.
Thank you for your help. This case can now be closed as the hash
produced by the binary allowed john to recover the passphrase from the
KDBX3.1 database.
Cheers,
-N
