Archey Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I keep getting the error No password hashes loaded (see FAQ) when entering this line in BT5 ./john --format=MD5 pwd.txt When I try using "raw-MD5" as the format I get this error Unknown ciphertext format name requested I've tried following the FAQ answer on the JTR sire, but I hasn't worked. Can anyone help? Thanks, Archey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) Don't know if you have tried this or not, but try running format with a single line "-" rather than two lines "--". ./john -format=MD5 pwd.txt Also make sure you have a ":" instead of "=", very important you pay close attention to these details or it won't work. ./john -format:MD5 pwd.txt Edited June 28, 2011 by Infiltrator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archey Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 strange, those don't work either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infiltrator Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) Have you tried using SUDO? Edit: Try this tutorial, http://www.osix.net/modules/article/index.php?id=455 Edited June 28, 2011 by Infiltrator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archey Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 Yeah I've tried both, I honestly have no idea whats going on, also I might have mentioned, but I'm on linux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwat Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 try pointing john to the hash file without setting any format to see what he detects. Also you could post a sample of pwd.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archey Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 I have tried that, but it says it finds two passwords and I assume it'll try all hashes, thus taking longer. sample of pwd.txt: User:5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592 Also tried without a capital "U" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norwat Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 It worked here, im using john with the jumbo patch [root@arcsys john]# ./john -format:raw-md5 -wordlist:password.lst hak5 Loaded 1 password hash (Raw MD5 [raw-md5 64x1]) hello (User) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archey Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) do you think it would be something with my install or JTR? seems it has something to do with the format option, if i dont have it it'll run, but take forever. but as soon as i put -format:MD5 or -format:raw-MD5 i get Unknown ciphertext format name requested error. and if i have any other option i get the initial error.

Norwat Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 well ... most likely,but as i said im using jtr with jumbo 6 patch, besides a modified john.conf its a standard install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archey Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) I was using John the Ripper 1.7.8 (stable, Unix - sources, tar.gz, 830 KB), I'll try the Jumbo 6 one I installed jumbo-6, i kept getting an error when compiling the source, and im still getting the same errors with 1.7.8 Edited June 29, 2011 by Archey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
