Openwall software releases and other related files are also available from the
Openwall file archive and its
mirrors.
You are encouraged to use the mirrors, but be sure to verify the
signatures on software you download.
The more experienced users and software developers can browse through the source code for most pieces of Openwall software
along with revision history information for each source file in our
GitHub organization and on our
CVSweb server.
We publish articles,
make presentations, and
offer professional services.
We also maintain a
wordlists collection
for use with password crackers such as
John the Ripper
and with password recovery utilities.
Finally, we host community resources such as
mailing lists and
wiki
for users of Openwall software
and for other Open Source and computer security folks.
