Please note that you don't actually have to run John on HP-UX - you may
instead take the password hashes from your HP-UX system and run John on
them on another machine (easier to use and/or faster). Of course, this
may be a security risk (if that other machine is compromised).
To compile John on HP-UX, use one of these commands (in the "src"
directory):
make clean hpux-pa-risc-gcc
make clean hpux-pa-risc-cc
make clean generic
Normally, the first or/and the second one of these should work,
depending on which C compiler you have installed (yes, you'll need to
install one if you want to run John on HP-UX - which you don't have to
as I explained above). "generic" is an alternative in case the above
commands fail; it uses gcc. Please report any failures in here in case
there's a portability issue for us to fix.
These hpux* targets have been tested on much older HP-UX systems,
though (e.g., I only have 10.20 on a 712/80, and I haven't powered that
machine on in some years now). They're 32-bit only (better performance
may be achieved with 64-bit, but someone will need to define a proper
make target; I don't have access to a 64-bit PA-RISC machine).
Since your system is "trusted", it probably keeps password hashes in
separate files. I have the following commands written down:
umask 077
cat /tcb/files/auth/?/* > shadow
Then you'll need to run JtR's "unshadow" program on /etc/passwd and the
shadow file obtained above. "unshadow" is HP-UX aware, it contains
these checks:
/* DU / Tru64 C2, HP-UX tcb */
if (!strncmp(passwd, "u_name=", 7)) {
if ((passwd = strstr(passwd, ":u_pwd=")))
passwd += 7;
} else
/* HP-UX tcb */
if (!strncmp(passwd, "u_pwd=", 6) && entry) {
passwd += 6;
if ((tail = strchr(passwd, ':')))
*tail = 0;
(*entry)->passwd = str_alloc_copy(passwd);
return;
}
which I hope is still right for recent HP-UX systems.
Note that you don't have to run "unshadow" right on the HP-UX system.
You may as well run it e.g. on a Linux system where you'll be running
John itself. This will avoid the need for having a C compiler installed
on HP-UX.
Please let us (the john-users list) know of your results. BTW, you
don't appear to be subscribed, and on john-users replies are normally
sent to the list only - so you might miss some.
I hope this helps.
