make clean linux-x86-64
Successful compilation generates john executable files in the run directory.
Put the / etc/shadow you want to crack under the shadow.txt folder:
Execution:. / john shadow.txt
But any violent cracking of codes requires a strong enough password dictionary.
John the Ripper's default password dictionary is password.lst in the run directory.
And the construction of password dictionaries depends on their ability to collect information.
