- May 03, 2020 john the ripper is an advanced password cracking tool used by many which is free and open source. John the Ripper initially developed for UNIX operating system but now it works in Fifteen different platforms. John The Ripper widely used to reduce the risk of network security causes by weak passwords as well as to measure other security flaws.
- One of the modes John the Ripper can use is the dictionary attack. It takes text string samples (usually from a file, called a wordlist, containing words found in a dictionary or real passwords cracked before), encrypting it in the same format as the password being examined (including both the encryption algorithm and key), and comparing the output to the encrypted string.
Jun 09, 2018 John the Ripper can crack the PuTTY private key which is created in RSA Encryption. To test the cracking of the private key, first, we will have to create a set of new private keys. To do this we will use a utility that comes with PuTTY, called “PuTTY Key Generator”. Click on “Generate”. John the Ripper is a widely known and verified fast password cracker, available for Windows, DOS, BeOS, and OpenVMS and many flavours of Linux. It uses wordlists/dictionary to crack many different types of hashes including MD5, SHA, etc. John the Ripper: Fast Password Cracker. For this to work you need to have built the community version of John the Ripper since it has extra utilities for ZIP and RAR files. For this exercise I have created password protected RAR and ZIP files, that each contain two files. Test.rar: RAR archive data, v1d, os: Unix test.zip: Zip archive data, at least v1.0 to extract The password for.
john --format=raw-md5 --wordlist=/usr/share/dict/words md5.txtand yet, it constantly gives me an error message:
No password hashes loaded (see FAQ)The content of md5.txt was:
20E11C279CE49BCC51EDC8041B8FAAAAI even tried prepending dummy user before this hash, like this:
dummyuser: 20E11C279CE49BCC51EDC8041B8FAAAAbut without any luck.
And of course I have extended version of John the Ripper that support raw-md5 format.
It turned out that John doesn't support capital letters in hash value! They have to be written in small letters like this:
20e11c279ce49bcc51edc8041b8fbbb6after that change, everything worked like a charm. What a stupid error!?
What's in the wordlist ?
The list you can download here contains all the dictionnaries, and wordlists, I was able to find on the internet for the past two years. While I was using those lists to make my online database (which you can find on this website), I also made a bigger list, and tweaked it, to obtain a very unique and pertinent wordlist for password cracking. This dictionnary not only contains the wordlists that you could find on the internet, I also made my own list, by analyzing first some passwords statistics (thanks to Pipal) to create a very useful list for you to download. Because size matters, but not as much as we could think.
There's no point having a very big list with big words from languages dictionnaries, because people are not likely to use those words as passwords. So I analyzed what people used as passwords, such as surnames, with dates, where are the capital letters, and other stuff. I used those informations and I created a script to make what is for me a very pertinent wordlist.
The wordlist you can download on this page is, thanks to what I did, very unique, you won't find it somewhere else on the internet. Of course I also have passwords that appears in other wordlists (hopefully, I have the word 'password' and '123456').

You can try out this wordlist by using the online database on the website,though the online database is larger than the one you can download here, this one was created to be the best mix of storage space and efficiency, it contains exactly 1.844.827.475 different words. This wordlist has been sorted, of course, and all the double words were removed using the unix 'sort | uniq' command. If you decide to download this wordlist, please note that you can use it as-is, by feeding your favorite cracking tool. I personnaly use John the Ripper with the argument --wordlist.
If you have any question regarding the wordlist, or troubles with downloading, or anything else, you can contact me through the address : contact (at) md5decrypt.net, I'll answer as soon as possible.
Cracking performance of md5decrypt's wordlist
As always, statistics are better than words. So I took some hours to find as many hashes as I could, by taking all the hashdumps I found (such as eharmony, gamigo, ISW, insidepro, etc) and several big lists of unfound MD5 hashes on great websites such as hashkiller.co.uk, md5online.com, pastebin.com, etc.
As a total, it gave me exactly 191.982.840 different hashes, that were also sorted using 'sort | uniq'.
I processed those hashes using my wordlist and John the Ripper (1.7.9-jumbo-7_omp), without using any rules, just the wordlist as-is ('john --wordlist=Md5decrypt-awesome-wordlist --format=raw-md5 Hashdump-benchmark' was the exact command). John the Ripper cracked exactly 122.717.140 hashes, which is about 63.92% of the total file. I guess you could go higher than this rate if you use the rules in John the Ripper.
If you want to try your own wordlist against my hashdump file, you can download it on this page. This file wasn't created just to work with my wordlist, I really looked for all the hashes I could find just to try if my list was good.
Download Md5decrypt's wordlist
You can download the Md5decrypt's wordlist for free. This wordlist is unique as I created it nearly from scratch, using only some base wordlist. I don't trust the best database are the one with every words in it. It takes a lot of time, disk space and isn't really efficient. The best way for me is to analyze the way people choose the passwords, then adapt the database to it.
