Weak password brute force cracking of shadow file-- John

Shulou Source: shulou.com Published: 2022-06-01 05:21:01 10月06日 Update

In the * test, we are mainly talking about the linux system. We often encounter arbitrary file downloading or reading, as well as command execution, but sometimes the command execution is not interactive, so it will be very difficult for us to add an account and password, so at this time we can read the shadow file, save the content locally, and then use john to crack it, so we can use the account in the system for remote connection control!

Basic syntax is used:
